I agree with Jim; let's show some solidarity and unity. We are all Americans, so let's pull together in this time. I don't know how many places were charging $4.00/gallon for gas, but I agree that that is wrong. At the same time, if someone is willing to pay that much, ...

Anyway, I'd say there are bigger issues right now than gas prices, although I know that's a big concern given all of the shipping and trucking in the U.S. I suppose farmers are going to see higher prices when they order gas for the fall harvest.

I grew up on a farm in Minnesota, and still go back several times a year to help my Dad plant and harvest, do chute jobs on the cattle, etc. He told me that some places in Iowa had gas at $4.00/gallon Tuesday night, but I guess it's back to $1.50-$1.70/gallon now.

My wife and I just moved to lower Manhattan (3 blocks from the WTC) about 3 weeks ago. We haven't been able to get back to our apt. since Tuesday, but compared to the thousands whose lives are lost or are still missing, we feel lucky and fortunate. The people of NYC are really pulling together -- giving blood, donating food and clothes and volunteering their time. I worked on volunteer rescue on Weds. night, and got turned away last night as they had so many volunteers.

I guess I don't have much to add to the discussion of fuel prices, but I hate to see complete strangers calling each other idiots. Let's get down to the business of rebuilding this great country and protecting it. Give what you can, fly the flag, and pray for those who have lost family in this terrorist attack.
