The Energy Markets are considerably lower since the Clinton decision, which is good for consumers and small business. Yes, I supported manipulation on behalf of lower energy prices. My allegiance is to small business (5 Million or less in revenues) and the Entrepreneur. I am not a big lover of the Fortune 500 as you are. As a businessman, I know the bottom line is profit, the more the merrier. Profit easily turns into greed and safety standards are sometimes ignored and what is best for the consumer often becomes subservient to the bottom line. Gov't has a public responsibility too. I am opposed to reducing the role of gov't to private enterprise- though I support that too. I am an advocate of every private citizen also becoming a public citizen. PS In the future, I would appreciate it if you would send your politico posts to me on the Gore/Bush Thread. I would be happy to respond to you there. I want to keep GPM more oriented to Gold, currencies, interest rates and the equity market. I know Gold is related to politics, but there is a tendency to get to diverted and to get to involved in a political discussion in itself.
