The Stars That Usher Evening Rose

For people who have gotten themselves a good college education the people in the media can be really fucking stupid sometimes. I realize that their job is to inform the public of what is going on in the world but there are things that are definitely better left unsaid. The media also loves the negative. They will give you the negative side to almost every story but then most of the time leave out the rest of the truth. This inturns leads to bad rumors starting and things to happen that should never happen. Perfect example is the mini gas crisis the country had due to Hurricane Katrina. There was absolutely no reason for any gas station anywhere in this country (with the exception of those areas right there where the storm came on sure from people evacuating) that should have run out of gas. Yet gas stations around the country especially here in the southeast were running out of gas and gas prices jumped much higher than they should have. In my opinion 95% of this was the fault of the media telling people about all the oil drilling planets that were shut down because of the Hurricane and how that would cause a drop in the supply in oil to our areas. But none of them or almost none of them told you the rest of the story which. Now today and the last few days and probably for days in the future the media is doing it all over again. Talking about all the oil drilling plants closing down and the oil refineries in Houston that have had to close down because of Hurricane Rita. They talk about how this will cause a drop in supply and the amount of oil refined in our future. They are also talking about how this could cause a temporary rise in prices. This is again starting to cause another gas crisis. Already in towns south of Asheville there are several gas stations running out of gas and reports of gas stations with long lines. Again I blame 95% of these on the media. If they had just kept their mouths shut or would just tell the whole truth like few of them are doing then we wouldn't be having these problems. They are not telling people that there is plenty of gas out there and that there is actually a surplus in oil currently that is waiting to be refined. So this whole rumor about oil and gas shortages that started with Katrina is nothing but a bunch of bullshit that would have never started spreading if the media had been smart. Gas prices would not have made as big of a jump with Katrina and wouldn't make as big of a jump this time around. And because the media is too stupid we had and now have again people (who aren't much smarter than the media) freaking out when there is no need for it. Ok I am done ranting now.
