Investor Fears

Is anyone else sick and tired of paying outrageous gas prices because, as the evening news calls it: "Gas prices rose due to investor's fears," or "The price of oil rose today because investors feared 'x'," or "Crude oil prices rose sharply today on investor's concerns for the future of 'x.'"?

C'mon!! What, do we have a bunch of pansy-pants ninnies running around the NY Stock Exchange, wringing their hands and literally cowering in fear of the crude oil boogy man? Seriously, these folks need to stop off at the local cemetary and pick up a new spine! If it is truly over concerns, fear, or questions, then why not simply address the issue by being confident in our lives. If it's truly just a bunch of oil investors that are scared of Ahamedinijad forcing his Hobbit-framed body to jirate in tyrannical contortions, then let's get rid of these investors!

Just once I would like to hear, "Oil prices dropped today because investors confidently ignored the 4 foot nothin' supreme ruler of Iran's rants, daring him to lose his best customer based simply on false ideological grounds." Or even, "Gas prices plummeted today because, even though Middle East turmoil exists, investors confidently invested their money anyway."

Instead, it appears that we simply have a bunch of namby-pambies who are saying, (insert whiniest mental voice you can conjur) "Ooooo, no! Tomorrow my VW Cabriolet might not get to work because Kim Jong (Makes me) Il is having another fashion show, lit with barrels of oil he stole from Mother Russia."

TOUGH COOKIES!! Buck up man!

Or, open ANWR to drilling.

Perhaps this is why Christ taught us, "Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Mt. 6:34) The solution preceded the command: "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Mt. 6:33).

Don't worry. Be happy. Trust Jesus.

Drill ANWR.
