No I am not the President of the United States of America. No I am not a United States Congressman. I am just a simple biker lawyer who sees the writing on the wall. The cost of oil is literally going to put us in a great depression and not just the recession we are in now.
I wrote an article about a year ago called >We Are Being Raped by the Oil Companies (Monopolies); It is Finally Time to Do Something About it Now!”You can read it by clicking here.
Now as I write this article, regular unleaded gasoline is approaching four dollars ($4.00) a gallon here in California, with premium grade already over four dollars a gallon. Diesel fuel is over four dollars fifty cents a gallon, and there is no end to fuel increases in site.
Why are fuel prices this high? It is not supply and demand like some would have you believe. It is not the functioning of a free market like others would have you believe.
Fuel prices are this high because of a few speculators at the mercantile exchange, and oil companies fixing prices and gouging us at the pump.
When will they stop? They will stop when we finally get elected officials in office that will commence investigations to find out what is really going on, ala Enron, and prosecute those that are raping our nation and gouging us in probably the worst scandal in our nation’s history.
Demand for oil has not significantly increased since a certain political party took power in the year 2000, what has changed is that oil men took power in 2000. With no shame whatsoever, they take a blind eye to the demise and suffering of our economy and our people, while they and their cronies rape us at the pump.
Why are the gas prices as they now exist and continue to increase a national emergency? The answer is that our entire economy is oil based. The necessities of life such as food, clothes, jobs, transportation, heating, cooling, etc., all depends on oil. How do you think the supplies that make up our world get to us? By ship, train, and big rig trucks. As fuel cost increase, so do the shipping cost, which is passed along to us. We have a symbiotic relationship with oil.
As the price for oil increases, so do the prices for everything else in our economy. People will lose their jobs and homes as a result of companies downsizing or going out of business because consumers are using their money to line the pockets of oil men, oil speculators, and oil producing nations, instead of using their money to buy other items that keep our economy going.
The worst part about what is happening is that the money that is being spent for oil is going into the pockets of a few only.
It is time for us as a people to stand up and say; “what the fuck is going on?” You see the news should not be about McCain, Clinton, or Obama. It should be about the oil prices that are the National Emergency right now, and no one wants to talk about it.
If nothing is done about fuel prices, what will happen to our nation will make the Great Depression of the 1930’s look like a great time.
I say it is time to regulate oil just like utility prices are regulated. The big oil companies and their cronies are going to destroy our nation if we let them. Let someone in power in our government have the balls to stand up to big oil and set the record straight just like we did with Enron.
May god bless America. We need his blessing now!

The Biker Law Blog and I were recently featured in the San Fernando Valley Business Journal, March 3-16, 2008 edition. (“SFVBJ”)
The article written by James Hames discusses how lawyers are using the Internet and Wireless Technology in their law practice. The article also featured a picture of me on my Hog in the Chatsworth Mountains in a business suit.
When I was interviewed for the article by Mr. Hames, he told me that he found me by searching on the internet.
As a Biker Lawyer and Personal Injury Lawyer, I feel that it was an honor to be featured in the article because let’s face it, Bikers sometimes face discrimination as we all know. Although the article was more about lawyers, then bikers, it discussed the Biker Law Blog and the audience for which it is intended; bikers.
I am currently looking into buying re-print rights for the article so that I can share it with you.
The photographer who photographed me for the article emailed me copies of the pictures that he took for the article. One of them is on the upper left.
It is good to see that a publication such as the San Fernando Valley Business Journal would cover a Biker Lawyer and the Biker Law Blog.
