Hi RtS, This is what I like so much about this thread - such challenging thought processes. Very good points,I can't discredit. I do think the impact of a cartel is a false market influence - but it has been around for decades. This most recent spike in oil is further out of proportion due to the weak dollar. Let's face it OPEC doesn't care - they want to maintain purchasing power - so they can buy off their twisted society and enjoy the good things of life - That's not bad. Depending on your orientation, we do that to them as well. It is after all the market place - it is brutal, cruel, and real - why make it anything else? The university's and interest groups do that for us.GG Thanks for the view point - you have undisputable points. I think we rock - the sooner the better,if not, I can be patient. Bob
