capitalism *is* fun :-)

I open today’s Wall Street Journal. On the front page, there is some article about oil. On the second page, there is another article about oil … and China. This is happening on every news site. There is a fixed set of items, such as: oil, China, Iraq, Obama and some more. Everything is somehow related to these things.

Why aren’t there any articles reporting about the advances in studying swearing in Latin? Or something else? It’s the same crap, fed by the media, every day. Oil has become a major word in everyone’s dictionary. I think that every issue that occurs somewhere, has a simple answer: "You know mate, I think it’s because of the oil"

Oil prices are down. Please enjoy and engage in useless driving, gouging up as much fuel as possible, paying for it with a credit-card, like there is no tomorrow. Please do it with a big engine, not some little white van or some 4 wheel can called eco-friendly car. There are no environmentally friendly cars. Telling people to drive a car that is environmentally friendly, is like asking a child to smoke a cigarette because it’s healthy.
