    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...

    And I think we can promise you we'll see $4 a gallon again at some time

    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.

    Did anyone see the History Channel program "Crude"?
    It was VERY interesting.

    Ohhhh the days of fuel before it hit £1 a litre, roll on! Diesel here already dropped 10p a litre, petrol dropped about the same in less than a 2 week period - take that you tree-hugging liberal scum!

    I refuse to participate in any debate with creationists because doing so would give them the "oxygen of respectability" that they want.
    Creationists don't mind being beaten in an argument. What matters to them is that I give them recognition by bothering to argue with them in public.
