Unit, I think we all need to calm down a bit.
A few rotten gas station owners gouged and some people, as usual, panicked and acted like fools, thinking the world was ending and they wanted to have a full tank of gas when it did, I guess. People get crazy in emergencies and do foolish things.
The inclination to immediately demonize oil companies and claim 'gouging' whenever the price of gas goes up is adopting instant assumptions without facts and is not very useful. Having more facts before making a a very serious claim about oil companies 'capitalizing' on the terrorist bombings would be a bit more useful and enhance ones credibility in the long run.
These are scary times, and we need to at least try to stay calm and rational and not go off on tangents built on unfounded rumors and misinformation. I'm sure you'll agree.
