Why don't 
  organized corporate interests challenge damage or risks to their 
  clear economic interests?
<P>Think about oil prices for big consumers, not just your 
  pocketbook. Airlines are groaning, limiting flights, and laying 
  off employees because of the skyrocketing price for aviation 
  fuel. Executives in that industry say that fuel costs are close 
  to 40 percent of the cost of flying you to your destination.</p> <P>The powerful chemical industry is under pressure from the prices 
  they're paying for petroleum-probably their main raw 
  material.</p> <P>The powerful trucking industry is beside itself with diesel fuel 
  going to $5 per gallon.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.votenader.org/index.html?submitted">Why aren't these very influential lobbies throwing their 
  weight around Washington to get something done about the 
  speculators on Wall Street determining what is paid for gasoline 
  and related petroleum products? It is in their own economic 
  interests.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1675EF2-EA76-4C89-808D-E4F3A662C0C6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
