We get about 25% of our oil from the gulf. And oh yeah lets not forget that a lot of our shipped oil came into those prots that got destroyed. So expect it to go over 4 dollars. Also this was a CATAGORY 5 hurricane. With 160+ mph winds, and 20+ inches of rain an HOUR.

right before it hit it was downgraded to a cat. 4 ;).
*edit* and if our oil comes from the gulf then why would people be bringin up the oil in iraq but then to bash americans and bush.

Holy shit ob, i live on Long Island too. O.O;; Holbrook to be exact :P
dude, around 75% of americans that are racist are that way because they're from a previous generation that was racist. If your talking about younger people, most arent, you see a lot of kids hanging out with all different racists. and you might say we're racist because we make racial jokes (lazy mexicans, black people love chicken wings, etc.), but thats just what they are, jokes. Do you think people like Dave Chappelle and Carlos Mencia are racist? i dont think so.
