I wanted badly to rail on those silly e-mails about how to fix the gas prices by boycotting one or another company or by filling up only slightly or by asking the government to intervene--which is, by the way, the dumbest damn thing you can do (see stories of the gas shortages and lines at the pump during the late '70's).
The following are links to some essays/articles that express better than I can this principle. There is more to read, but you can pretty much get the picture from articles at www.mises.org and www.lewrockwell.com. Mises.org is an especially wonderful source, and (if you like its essays) you can sign up to receive them daily.
If you feel strongly about the gas-price issue, please take the time to read at least some, better most, and best all of the following articles. A reading of Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson would also do a copious amount of good.
These first few are pretty simple.

These are more "academic."
