Okay everyone, how quickly do you think we'll see national fuel protests where fuel stations up and down the country are blockaded? (The first of these has already happened in the UK)

No sign of any such unrest in the US. The Bush supporters blame foreigners. The Bush opponents are despondent and too fearful of the Patriot Act to protest anything.

I personally don't, because I know it to be a waste of energy(and everyone at these forums know how horrible that is). Anyone with similar ideas, I've tried to dissuade them from it(for instance, the only buying gas on certain days or every other week, I explained that would only limit consumption, and if it had any effect on the price, it would simply be because demand dropped).

One thing I've noticed is that the consistently high prices have a sobering effect on people helping in acceptance of PO. People are being prepped for the bad news.

The last time we had high prices (seventies - early eighties) people didn't go out and protest. Who are they going to protest against? Nature, perhaps.
