What's going to become of the Middle East? Count this be an end of them as we know it, or a new beginning.

Oil Turmoil: Big Oil Is Ripping Us Off
So I'm on my way to the corner petrol station for my weekly fill of petroleum and I noticed that the gas prices have skyrocketed to well over $3.00 a gallon, which I find completely outrageous considering gas was only $2.87 a few weeks earlier.
Knowing I wouldn't be able to fill my tank I only put in a cool $20, which barely got me half a tank.
Pissed off I walked into the store violent as hell and asked "Whats with the freaking ridiculously high gas prices" The cashier said "It's because of Libya and the rioting in the middle east, don't you watch the news?" I responded with...
"Of course I watch the frickin news, and thats bullshit, we get less than 10% of our oil from the middle east. We get more oil from US, Canada and Mexico than all the countries in the middle east combined. The oil companies are ripping us off, they think we're stupid, how is it that one country, that hardly produces any oil to begin with effects the price of oil so much? The truth is it doesn't, but the oil companies like Exxon and BP think that we'll believe it, so they raise the price to make more money, It's ridiculous, and it needs to stop. These oil companies are out of control!"
