Everyone knows that it is GOD’S LAW that caused the monsoon that caused the crops to fail that caused the people to starve and riot in the streets that caused the Arab dictators to fall that caused gas prices to rise that crippled the US economy BECAUSE Obama gave into the whims of the gay atheist teachers unions!
Since deregulation, “supply and demand” has absolutely nothing do to with the speculation in the futures markets. In fact, it didn’t have anything to do with the housing bust in actuality either. When they were allowed to take risks even casinos would “pass” on, and were also allowed to ignore what laws and regulations WERE on the books, “money managers” of many sorts, just went nuts, or maybe just after ours?
Chur., the law of gravity is inexorable. The “law” of supply and demand is not. It is one form of human behavior, and we can practice supply & demand in a moral universe.

Blame futures speculators, not anyone in the Middle East. Though “ethics” seems on about the same level.

I thought it was those in the uprising that set fire to, or at least threatened to, the oil wells?
And I can’t believe I’m actually saying this… but, ack, ugh dtroutma’s assessment is dead on.
OH the horror, what have I done!
LOL.

Churchy, keep at it baby. You know what they say about an infinite number of monkeys. Sooner or later you’ll write something that makes sense.

To be honest, Church, my comment was intended as satire of fundamentalist attitudes rather than as ridicule.
