The sick part is offering up their sons and daughters lives for that right.

In any case, that is what makes a market. Gas doesn't bother me nearly as much since my roth value is far out distancing the rise in fuel. I don't shed a tear for those so bent on self distruction financially that they can't stop spending at the mall.

In Hawaii we have a monopoly on electricity. HECO. They are guaranteed by the State to make a profit and they pay a divvie around 5%. I gave up trying to tell people to save enough every month to buy shares of HECO. Eventually, even a modest wage earner can accumulate enough shares whereby the divvie will cover their fuel/electric costs. But no, $8.50 movie tickets are much more valuable. I would bet the 'normal' family in Hawaii does the movies at least twice a month. that's about $50 a crack = $1,200/year = $60 in HECO divvies. Ten years of movie avoidance = at least $700-$800 year income from reinvested divvies.
