When gas was running at $4 a gallon, there were cries for intervention too. I hate to see where we would be if those voices were listened to..
Excuse me? The gas run-up, as good as it could have been for the environment had it held, played no small roll in scaring consumers into clamping down on their expenditures and missing mortgage and credit card payments, pushing the credit crunch into critical.
Or are you being ironic?
I didn't mean to advocate high gas prices at all. I meant to say that the market brought down the price without politicians climbing all over each other to save us. Get my drift?

There is this "Black" guy going around too. I thought you dropped the landlord part.

Oh, sorry. I totally misunderstood and thought you were saying that the lack of "regulation" in response to the gas price spike was evidence of deep economic wisdom and mature leadership on the part of the previous regime.

Just fired up my iMac for the first time in a few days and was still logged in under the old nick.
Why not join that fun? How about "Dak?"
