The problem with lowering prices during the time of maximum demand is that you will exceed the refining capacity (we are already running a max capavity) at some point therby causing a shortage of gas and pumps go dry. Conversely if you raise prices during time of lower demand you build excess...

As with anything else, you get what you pay for. Shell out the big bucks to live in the mountinas (or just rough it) and you breathe pristine air. Don't and breathe the contaminated shit elsewhere. You may not pay for it monetarily but you pay for the air you breate in other ways.

That is true. I should ammend my statement to say that nothing of real value is free. You get what you pay for, and you don't always pay in money.

Free energy is a great idea but not a reality. It never will be a reality. Free energy equals world crises (especially in the US) since you now have to lay off thousands of your current work force. People bitch about the cost of entitlement programs now, what happnes when energy is free...

And the problem with the US trying to secure energy access and stabilize the regions that have the largest reserves are exactly what? If not the US then someone else will, China perhaps, Russia, someone else? It can be a shitty proposition but I would rather the US be the top dog regarding...

You think that people too stupid to punch a damned ballot should have their vote count. If they can't even read enough to mark the ballot they have no right to have a vote counted.

And I suppose you, in the Noth, are so much more intellignet?

Spaceballs is a riot.

College education is not declining because of a president. You have no farther to look than the students. Students are not required to take a certain class. They take what they choose. How can any president force someone to take a clas that challenges them or a class that is based in science...

Thanks for ya'lls insight. It has been helpful

For those who have experience, if a strategy (entry, exit, and MM criteria) is successfull in backtesting in one time frame, should it be successfull in another time frame? I ask because I was doing some backtesting and found that the entry, exit, and MM criteria in the 1-hr time frame...

I am an engineer as well an will admit that this is my biggest problem to overcome and is really the only thing holding me back. In trading X + Y does not always equal Z and that has been really hard for me to wrap my mind around.

The choice would obviously be to not kill someone. No reasonable person wishes to kill a person without reason. At the same time if my family is threatend or my property is being stolen thats it. The criminal has already made a choice, a wrong choice, or else they would not be there. Now...

You may be confortable in your superiority of allowing a person to break into your home and threaten you and your family. I am not. fortunatly the state I live in allow sa person to protect his/her property and the lives of their family with deadly force if necessary. If a person is...

That may be the case but when a nutcase breaks into my house they are likely to find the business end of a 12 ga as the method of deterence. That solves your delimmea on capital punishment.

1) It was thought by most informaed persons both inside the US (both political parties) and outside the US that Saddam either had WMDs or was developing them. Had he played it straight with the UN then we have had the possibility of knowing that WMDs or rograms to develop them were not present...

Iraw is a shining example of why you do not want a regime such as Saddam to have economic success. Yes the US once traded with Iraw, even in weapons adn you saw the result of that in 1991. Since then the UN sanctions severly limited the economic prosperity of Iraq which severly impeded the...

Isn't that what the US is doing in Iraq?

That is a philosiphical difference between you and most Americans. Most Americans have no problem donating personally. However, we do have a problem with a government, ours or another, or the UN telling us that we need to raise our taxes to pay for the poor nations of the world. Thats total...

That does it. SA has me convinced that I need to leave the US and move to Europe. Any ideas on where the best locale is?
