Killer, >>will your Govt. step in and wring out the excesses and hoarding and cool the speculation like they did in the stock market? You must really be from outer space.<g> You have got to be kidding, have you ever in the history of this country seen the government wring out any excesses and hoarding. Maybe gold back in the old days, but excesses and in times of low supply; i.e. during WWII, hoarding was a way of life. It is going to be fun to watch this working generation of Americans react to what is going on. It will take a while but they will figure out that buying today saves a buck tomorrow as well as some goods may not be available in the future. During WWII my mother had 100s of pounds of sugar stored at the farm and we had 100's of barrels of fuel stored, as well as other import problem products. The black market was going great guns and food and shoe stamps were a laugh. We grew and raised everything else we needed. <g> Joan
