American Consumers on short end of Energy stick

HAGERSTOWN, Md. - When James Schwartz signed a contract last summer locking in home heating oil for the winter at $2.79 a gallon, it seemed like a safe bet. Crude oil prices had surged and gasoline was above three bucks a gallon. Could $3 fuel oil be far behind?

But crude has dropped nearly 25 percent from its mid-July peak of $78.40 a barrel. And other heating-oil customers in the Baltimore area are paying as little $2.12 a gallon to heat their homes — 24 percent less than Schwartz is paying.

Schwartz, a 61-year-old social worker and retired Navy officer, learned a lesson about speculating on commodities, which is what he did by locking in a future price.

Customers often pay a premium_ about $40 a year in Schwartz’ case — to lock in a price. The contracts typically have cancellation clauses requiring customers to pay a penalty — about $100 in Schwartz’ case — to void the deal.

Schwartz, who lives with his wife and their cat in a three-bedroom, 2,400-square foot home about 15 miles west of Baltimore, said he decided after some calculations to stick with his fixed-price contract rather than pay the cancellation fee.

“If I buy out of it, I’m going to end up paying $140″ in contract fees he said. “It would take two and a half to three deliveries of oil for me to make up the difference.”

======================================================================================= This whole notion of “contracts” for consumables is an absolute fraud especially Cell phone contracts where they require two years and they get away with “automatically” renewing the contract if you make the slightest change or even call them with an issue.

It’s downright fraud and should not be tolerated by the American sheeple.

What’s next a contract to buy a certain amount of cereal at a certain price at the grocery store???

This says a lot about how well the U.S. is doing.

The Alaska Governor blames the citizens of course.

Oil rich Alaskans depend on Venezuela for Oil

About 150 native villages in Alaska have accepted money for heating oil from Citgo. The oil company does not operate in Alaska, so instead of sending oil, it is donating about $5.3 million to native nonprofit organizations to buy 100 gallons this winter for each of more than 12,000 households.

“When you have a dire need and it is a matter of survival for your people, it doesn’t matter where, what country, the gift or donation comes from,” said Virginia Commack, an elder in the arctic village of Ambler, an impoverished Eskimo community of 280 where residents are paying $7.25 a gallon for fuel.

“It’s embarrassing that residents in a state with so much oil wealth should be looking to a foreign nation for help,” the newspaper said. “It’s hard to blame villagers for accepting the gift.”

A spokesman for Gov. Frank Murkowski, John Manly, said the governor believes Chavez’s donation is a ploy to undermine Americans’ faith in their government. But he said it is up to each village to make its own decision.

“It seems like a very strange irony that we produce the oil and yet every year there seems to be a chronic problem in getting the fuel to people that need it,” Manly said.

Joan Eddy, principal and teacher at Nelson Lagoon’s school, said most buildings in town were erected 30 to 40 years ago, which makes them pretty old, considering how they get battered by the constant 20-25 mph wind coming off the ocean. Their heating systems are aging, too.

She noted the fuel barge is late arriving this year, and said residents are turning on their furnaces for only a few hours in the morning and at night.

“We’re conserving as much as we can because we are concerned. It looks like it’s going to be a snowy winter and cold,” she said.

Maine Gov. John Baldacci, who approved an agreement last winter to buy discounted oil, said he had no plans this year to seek a similar arrangement. In Boston, a City Council member wants a landmark Citgo sign near Fenway Park taken down and replaced with an American flag. In Florida, a lawmaker asked the state to cancel Citgo’s exclusive contract to sell fuel at turnpike service stations.

============================================================================ There is obviously a big problem there in Alaska I wasn’t aware of.

Since there is such an infrastructure problem the area should be declared unsafe and unfit for human habitation.

Supreme Court Rules Cities May Seize Homes

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development.

The 5-4 ruling represented a defeat for some Connecticut residents whose homes are slated for destruction to make room for an office complex. They argued that cities have no right to take their land except for projects with a clear public use, such as roads or schools, or to revitalize blighted areas.

As a result, cities now have wide power to bulldoze residences for projects such as shopping malls and hotel complexes in order to generate tax revenue.

======================================================================== I would do everything I could possibly do to stop this.

Wake up Americans, you are being owned big time.

Many folks have asked me about my proposal for the problem the U.S. has been facing for years now and has really gotten worse in the last ten years.

A huge uninterrupted flow of Mexicans flooding into the U.S. everyday. It is rapidly reaching a saturation point in many Cities and parts of the Country that cannot handle much more human product import.

The initial idea I’m sure looked good on paper for Politicians and Developers alike but has rapidly outgrown itself because not just young strapping construction working capable Mexicans have been coming but they bring women along as well that have many babies that instantly become American citizens.

So Technically the entire mass of Mexicans that have already and continue to flood the U.S. are already what I call “Unoffical Southern Citizens”. That is where my proposal come in.

These families now have what the original immigrant settlers of last Century had set up, where they are sending Billions and Billions of U.S. currency back to their families in Mexico. What is different from last Century is the shear volume and the close geographic proximity that is not about to change.

So my proposal is that Mexico become “South United States”. Think of it as a massive Louisiana purchase but with many States.

It would be the biggest boom the U.S. and the world has ever seen.

There would need to be an ammendment to the Constitution establishing the expansion of Political & Military boundaries. There would be a Southern Capitol, most likely Mexico City. It would simply be the meeting place for the new Senators and Representatives of each Mexico State that is created. That is the only expansion needed. The current system of the three branches and President would not need nor should be altered, it is the basis and foundation of America.

This proposal would strengthen America while still preserving both America’s and Mexico’s heritage, both of which are at increasing odds with each other under continuing strain with current policy.

So there you have it, the North United States and the South United States.

OK, some folks have been asking what is my platform?

I would say somewhat similar to what Ross Perot ran.

People ignored the warnings then and now just realizing that what he said would happen has happened and many Americans are like Deer caught in the headlights.

The people ask me, what about Unions?

What about them?

Unions used to represent the workers like the Government used to represent the people, on both counts now they only represent themselves.

Both need serious overhaul in the U.S. or Revolution will overhaul both for them.

That is my platform, it is for American ideals, not Democrat, not Republican or any other party agenda, just America’s Agenda.

It seriously needs to be the top priority or risk dropping from a First World Country to a Third World Country in a heartbeat.

Well why not.? According to one of the leading members of one of the World’s largest and most active Forum says I’m as qualified as Bush.

Reason why is while typing fast one day about the UCLA Researching creating Fussion and writing water in long form, I reversed Hydrogen and Oxygen as well as mispelling Hydrogen.

Since W makes mistakes like this on more than a regular basis it is more than appropriate that I make the run for President, besides no one could possibly do worse than Bush has, not even me.

dmcowen674 Of course those that don’t believe in Science would say such a thing
…two weeks later… dmcowen674 water which contains a Hdrogen atom for every two Oxygen atoms

Well it’s Official, Trump stole my idea for the WTC

Shortly after 9-11 I said on my Website;

“I think they should be built at 109 Floors instead of the original 110 because the [B]110th Floors and all those who were there Sept 11th 2001 will be there forever in Spirit………[/B]“

Today Trump reveals plan with slight twist to mine that the towers would have 111 floors instead of 110. I believe the familes would embrace my idea much more.

I just would like Donald to acknowledge he got the idea from me.

5-19-2005 Trump Sounds Off on World Trade Center

NEW YORK - To Donald Trump, the proposals for the replacement for the World Trade Center look like a junkyard. His solution? Rebuild the twin towers, more or less.

Standing in the lobby of his Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, the developer turned TV star on Wednesday presented a model of his own envisioned towers, reflecting the original shape of the skyscrapers that fell Sept. 11, 2001.

The towers he advocates would be 111 stories tall — one floor taller than the lost towers

This post dedicated to all the things Illegals get in the U.S. that U.S. Citizens cannot like Illegals can now get Healthcare, Drivers License, Workers Comp.

Best bet is for all us American citizens that cannot get Healthcare is to change our name to Perez.

Question for all Taxpayers out there.

How do you like paying for all this for illegals that don’t pay Taxes???

5-10-2005 U.S. to Pay Hospitals for Illegals’ Care

WASHINGTON - Health care providers can charge the government for emergency care provided to illegal aliens beginning Tuesday.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued final guidance Monday that sets up a system for reimbursement. Lawmakers set aside $1 billion over four years for the program, created by Medicare legislation passed in 2003.

For hospitals in border states, the additional money can mean the difference between running a profitable business or an unprofitable one, said Don May, vice president of policy for the American Hospital Association.

Two-thirds of the money will be distributed to health care providers based on a state’s percentage of undocumented aliens. The remaining third will go to providers in the six states with the largest number of arrests of undocumented aliens.

Yep, You read it right.

A California Deputy wrote a ticket to a chicken that crossed the road and a trial has been set.

RIDGECREST, Calif. - Linc and Helena Moore may have finally learned the answer to that age-old question: Why did the chicken cross the road? Because the chicken doesn’t know jaywalking is illegal.

Kern County Sheriff’s Deputy J. Nicholson does know, however. The deputy issued a ticket on March 26 to one of the couple’s chickens for impeding traffic on a road in Johannesburg, a rural mining community southeast of Ridgecrest.

The Moores arrived in Superior Court on Friday to plead not guilty to their chicken’s alleged transgression. A trial was scheduled for May 16.

Nicholson has declined to discuss the matter, but sheriff’s Sgt. Francis Moore said chickens on the roadway have been a problem in the community of 50 residents. Officials didn’t believe it could be resolved by simply issuing the couple a warning.

America is going backwards as evidenced by State by State count increasing that is banning Evolution from being taught in it’s schools.

The lastest State is Kansas.

Here is an excerpt from some News coverage today:

Scientists snub Kansas evolution hearings

Education hearings rigged, say science organizations

The scientists’ boycott was led by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Kansas Citizens for Science, which believe the hearings are rigged against the teaching of evolution.

Scientists said they don’t see the need to cram their arguments into a few days of testimony, like out-of-state witnesses who were called by advocates of the “intelligent design” theory.

Leaders of the science groups said the three subcommittee members already have decided to support language backed by intelligent design advocates. All three are part of a conservative board majority receptive to criticism of evolution.
