Re: Countdown to $200 oil (3) - no gas tax needed (4.00 / 5)

Note that, as usual, prayer consists in telling an omnipotent god what is going on and asking for intervention. The Lord, sees all, knows all, but is too fucking lazy to register that prices have gone up since last week.

Balckmailing gods (or your god) is one of the most ancient religious practices... it is almost everywhere... and resilent with time..

It certainly must work... either this or it has a very important symbolic relevance :)
