The reader may wonder, “Why is Kant blue with red tiger stripes?” Well, why twelve categories? I don’t know. It was decided that a toy representing as important a philosopher as Kant ought to be unique in some way, that there ought to be some kind of toyly manifestation of his philosophical greatness. Blue with red tiger stripes was deemed sufficiently bad ass
whether or not i agree/disagree with you is really not the point. in fact, re-reading what you wrote, I’m not sure what your viewpoint is exactly since most of your post was a quote. what I did disagree with was that there was a bulleted list of things that purported itself to be the sole and exhaustive list of reasons for oil price fluctuations, which in fact it is not. i applaud you for taking the time to educate yourself about the world around you, I simply urge you to also educate yourself on who you’re getting information from, and subsequently who you’re quoting. the fact remains neal boortz, for all of his sardonic witicisms, simply does purport himself to be an authority on global trade, therefore it is disingeniuous of you to take something he has written/said/claimed and claim this as fact.
In any case, its good to know that people our age are spending less time reading shit like entertainment news and watching american idol and are actually writing about this stuff.
