Dear price gaugers and mutual fund users

right on allan -- well said
and anyone who is involved in a 401 K (American) or CPP (Canadian)
or any sort of work place funded oension is involved in mutual funds or
stocks of some sort
so is anyone who owns an insurance policy on any item they have -
_insurance companies take your $$ premium :$$ Insured replacement value and
then invest that in re-insurance and other companies who play the money
markets -
workers compensation is done that way too - so are all group health care
plans -
so --- as Allan says - it is what it is a commodity -
all the legislation in the world will not change that -
the 68 VW Van sold for about 3K-to 5K - $$$ -
when new ---
and the present owner demands 10K$ simply cause it is running --
you bet -
$$ for fuel is an easy equation -
stop driving -
Read Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)
Read The Iron Heel (Jack London)
and be glad that we are living in the time we live in
cause in the mid 1700's to mid 1800's Women were working the street as
prostitutes and the going rate was low cause there were so many
the reason they were doing this was because they were widows or cast outs
with children and no steady man to support them -

ancient proverbs read that-- only a fool says those days were better than
these --
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
