Will it take $4 gas before we are allowed to drill for oil in Alaska? Oil hits $106 per-barrel, corn over $5, soy beans $14, wheat $11. Using food for ethanol has not worked. Neither have windmills, solar, electric cars, etc. The price of gas keeps going up.  Now, food prices.

We could have $1 gas, create thousands of American jobs, and eliminate buying oil from foreign countries.  Just allow new drilling in Alaska and off shore.  BP Prudhoe Bay had been producing 400,000 barrels per day for 30 years from one small spot in Alaska. 

Will it take $4 gas to allow a few more spots?

    What did you do on Black Friday?
    Out shopping as soon as the stores opened.
    Waited until the early rush crowds thinned out and then went shopping.
    Took my time and went shopping later in the day.
    Did all my shopping online.
    Spent the day doing anything BUT shopping.
