KATU - Portland, OR : Think the fix is in on gas prices? New report may back you up | Local & Regional | KATU.com - Portla

You do have a point lee98632, to a point, but you may be overlooking one thing. I can use alternative fuels all that I want........shoot.........I can even stop driving all together but unfortunately, everything is delivered to retail stores by ship or train, and then by trucks. The fuel costs are passed to the retailers, and then the retailers mark up prices on all goods, passing this along to consumers. Even if I didn't drive at all, my monthly household budget will take a significant hit in the form of inflation. We're all experiencing this as we speak. _Just for interesting reading, check out the pros and cons of alternative fuels from consumer reports.

Check out this nationwide map of gas prices. Holy Moses, you'll be amazed. http://gasbuddy.com/gb_gastemperaturemap.aspx Some areas in the southern states are paying UNDER $3.00.

Why does this have to be politcal at all? Can't it just be a message meant to offer a little hope? As much as all of the stupid politicians (local to national) like to believe that our every waking moment is about them, their agenda, or who we're going to vote for......................they're wrong. Just let it be a nice message.

Well........I don't agree with Obama either.........but I'm not knowingly breaking the law.....taking what is not mine (stealing), or willingly wasting taxpayers $$ with no regard as to how it will affect the "99%" that your have selfishly appointed youself to "speak for". You don't speak for me, and you never will.

I'll tell you what. Give me your address. Maybe your house is nicer than mine! Maybe I'll move in, or perhaps just camp on your property. I'll keep the place up and I won't post any signs. By the way..........what time is dinner? I'm sure that your post HAS to be somewhat sarcastic............because nobody in thier right mind would condone such an illegal action. GOOD ONE!

Local and Federal governments are allowing this. For the life of me, I don't know why, but here it is. The longer this is allowed to continue, the harder it will be to end. Kind of like any other vermin........take care of them quickly before they spread. I'm afraid it may already be too late. So what is the next step?

It's time for our own "Occupy Signal".......for the rest of us that are the 99%..........that don't agree with this crap. I would picture it as a great big boot, kicking a butt with "Occupy" tattoed on it! Let is shine baby! Why is it, that the majority of the public is not listened to, and the anarchists are given free reign? When will WE be heard? When will this stop? Government, on local and national levels, have already let this go to a dangerous point. Ultimately, it may take the National Guard or other military action to disperse this movement. Are we going to let it go, until the Government folds, or what? And THEN what? What is the final conclusion of all of this?

WHY are we still having to endure these idiots? I wonder who they stole the power from, to run such a bright and clear projection. They've done nothing that's legal yet. Please...........stop reporting on these clods.

So what it the deterent for Haugen NOT to kill somebody else? He might as well go on a rampage! They won't kill him. In fact.....EVERYONE on "death row" might as well rampage. It's kind of ironic. Kitzhaber won't let the death penalty be enforced on "his watch" , and the next death that Haugen causes, will be Kitahaber's fault.

Sorry folks.........I have no sympathy. I don't wanna hear any freakin' whinning about this. Let's look at the chances that Oregon voters have had. #1 - You had the chance .........TWICE to recall Sam Adams............and you didn't. #2 - Kitzhaber tanked Oregon on the FIRST go-around in office.........and you VOTED HIM IN AGAIN! Well.....here it is......and now we're living with it.

Look at it THIS way. By wanting to be executed, he'll save the state a TON of money over the course of time that he would have been held for a life sentence. In having to finance the occupy movement, the state needs to save all of the money that it can, in all areas, in order to pay for the movements "right to free speech".

"Why should coaches get so much more than teachers" .......you can't place bets on teaching............ and nobody cares what shoes the teachers are wearing. Sad but true. We'll pay sports figures tons of money for playing a game, and won't reward earned knowledge, and the nobility of sharing that knowledge. As soon as a linebacker has the ultimate cure for cancer..............I'll buy season tickets.

Yeah...........we live well at a combined income of 9k a month. I guess everyone has thier own level...........BUT.............I wouldn't mind an income of HIS level. All for being a football coach. I think the occupiers should camp in HIS lawn. :)

Did anyone see Newt Gingrich comment on the occupy movement? (Still laughing my buns off!) "All the Occupy movement starts with the premise that we owe them everything," Gingrich said. "They take over a public park they didn't pay for, to go nearby to use bathrooms they didn't pay for, to beg for food from places they don't want to pay for, to obstruct those who are going to work to pay the taxes to sustain the bathrooms and to sustain the park, so they can self-righteously explain they are the paragons of virtue to which we owe everything." "That is a pretty good symptom of how much the left has collapsed as a moral system in this country, and why you need to reassert something by saying to them, 'Go get a job right after you take a bath."

It's time...................Time for the general public, or the REAL 99% to assemble, get a LEGAL PERMIT to march/protest against the occupy movement, and to voice OUR opinion of THEM. Show up at all of thier marches or functions, in far greater numbers than they have, and squeeze the idiots until they're gone. They DO NOT represent 99% of Amercians. It seems that most of the population is annoyed and angry at this movement. I for one, am offended that they've taken it upon themselves to think that they have the right to speak for me. They don't. Only I have the right to speak for myself. I personally feel that thier actions may not fall short of treason or domestic terrorism.........but that's just my opinion.
