The people I know or associate with all seem to agree as well. Both republicans & democrats bend us over and fuck us in the ass every chance they get for the last 40-60 years it seems. They only seem to bring out the dog and pony shows 3-8 months before election or during main stream media BlitZ's<br /><br />So, I am not really sure what your final comments meant.pushback_317https://www.blogger.com/profile/00108296540670680369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-45420286144825562472011-04-25T10:09:49.634-04:002011-04-25T10:09:49.634-04:00I do not understand the assumptive nature and defe...I do not understand the assumptive nature and defensive or 'offended' posture(s) to my question. However, my expectation is not to have everyone relate to me in a friendly manner all the time. With that in mind, I will duck & dodge. Thanks for the replies.<br /><br />Honestly I do not get it though? I am afraid to bring this up as now it is realistic to expect further hazing. But, here goes:<br />Read what you said.... It has nothing to do with either of my posts. More importantly it was not relevant to my question. Some sort of ad hominem based attack/reply because of a question about an article I read on this blog?<br /><br />If the expectation of writing a blog is not to have interaction with others or address their questions I am not sure what it is or ought to be.pushback_317https://www.blogger.com/profile/00108296540670680369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-9666572137251238512011-04-25T10:07:54.523-04:002011-04-25T10:07:54.523-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.pushback_317https://www.blogger.com/profile/00108296540670680369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-64407273989078878762011-04-25T08:13:50.907-04:002011-04-25T08:13:50.907-04:00...oh yeah pushback...Gotcha...but please don'......oh yeah pushback...Gotcha...but please don't bother to grovel to make your supreme one look good.QueManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601361665795040117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-43176270704521856752011-04-25T08:09:54.177-04:002011-04-25T08:09:54.177-04:00Go figure pushback...the head of OPEC...you know t...Go figure pushback...the head of OPEC...you know the Saudi's...stated they are going to cut back on production...too much supply/oil in the system.<br /><br />Me I know it is bo's policies that have increase the prices...after all he did WARN us that is what he will do as potus...and you know what you moronic creep...your hope and change ain't done yet!!!QueManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601361665795040117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-35841602749206736162011-04-24T22:43:59.836-04:002011-04-24T22:43:59.836-04:00So you do believe that speculation is responsible ...So you do believe that speculation is responsible for increases in the price of crude oil which transitions into gas prices in the USA.

If you depend on oil (like an airline), you need to hedge based upon the direction you think prices will go. That is, if you want to keep airline tickets stable.<br /><br />Countries that try to eliminate futures speculation end up like Zimbabwe.<br /><br />It's called supply-and-demand.<br /><br />You can read about it in Macroeconomics 101.<br /><br />Try checking it out sometime.directorbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205733284944340787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-58424963876825451582011-04-24T22:04:17.914-04:002011-04-24T22:04:17.914-04:00Is it your opinion that speculation does not have ...Is it your opinion that speculation does not have an impact on the cost of crude - pain at the pump? I can not imagine that is the position of anyone in 2012? What might be up for debate is how much does the actions impact the barrel price?
