Some foolishness never dies. Yet again this year (on MySpace this time), I’m receiving messages from friends saying, “Don’t buy gas on May 15 (or whatever day)! It’ll hurt the oil companies! That’ll show ‘em!”
In April 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in protest of gas prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a [...]

I’ve also re-enabled comments for the time being. We’ll see what the spam situation looks like in a few days or weeks.
