    Oil

    Anyone see this today? Oil dropped down to $118 a barrel.

    I remember some people saying that we would never see sub $4 gas again...

    I'm just saying, saying it will never go to someplace it's been is rather an odd arguement, as is the reverse. The $4 mark is the $4 mark only because our system of economics has made $4 an even or as we think an even denomination of money. Its no different then $4.05, or $4.91, yet you've ascribed a value and place to it as if it's special.

    Eventually though we can theorize there will be $4 a gallon for regular again, and eventually possibly $5 or $10 or more!

    So if anything it's your kind of thinking that makes something hit the "$4 a gallon mark", if it wasn't for you there wouldn't be a "mark" to hit.


    Also my comments are in good humor with plenty of sarcasm, just don't want to add simileys, and lead head over there and I are as I would consider long time friends.

    It was VERY interesting.
