Absolutely - that might be the way it starts ... I'd dearly love to see a few politicos be forced to recognize a petition, and to speak on the evening news the language of the taxpaying consumer, who simply wants an alternative to paying for more terrorist training with every fill-up ... It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the next few weeks. Listen for "news" from politicos, oil companies, and ME sheiks. Either mea culpas, or ... "it's not my fault !"
