Great video of art and music I think everyone can relate to. This slideshow reminds me how much we all need to ‘stop’ and enjoy beauty before we rush our life by too fast.

Typical corporate politics! The oil fat cats go home richer sleeping good at night, while still giving excuses on taking more from the rest of us...who are giving them that money.

Today big news of a lower oil price per barrel, along with natural gas, gasoline, and heating oil per unit. They are real quick to use lame excuses to RAISE prices of gasoline when oil goes up, but will not lower prices when it drops. Also remember that some of that price at the pump is state and federal tax charges as well. Check with your state representative for more information.

Personally I still do not understand why it is OK to state in plain English, in black and white print, that the oil industry is making "billions in profits" for the first time in history; while still claiming excuses for raising the prices higher.

Well no kidding! Making billions in profits from price gouging is old news to the rest of us everyday folks. We feel it being taken out of our pockets every single day, from higher food prices due to shipping costs to gas at the pumps. Everything in life is effected by the cost of oil from transportation, shipping, heating, and many products made from oil and oil byproducts, which is another story.

Those big wigs know they are taking from everyone else. They know how much oil effects so many products across the globe, yet still sleep good at night gouging more money from us. We all need to individually take control of learning more about what oil is used for, and finding ways to change to other products, including alternative heating and gasoline fuels. Only digging more oil from American soil is not the best long term answer for the already stressed environment, or for our pockets, when alternatives do make a total positive difference.
