Very interesting read. Of course, take it for what it's worth, since no one can really predict the future, but good to read some insight about what's going on with oil currently. I'm saving about $30 a month because of it.

Sad and worrying. All year our societies have been commerating the dead and why they died. Although principally a remembrance of WW1, it fed strongly into the annual WW2 commemorations. Many people sacrificed in the hope we would do away with the kind of society where people would be unsafe because of their background or beliefs. It seems that it is not that we forget history, we don't learn from it.

Lol, true. Stuff like news headlines certainly distract me by piquing my curiousity, though in reality it's probably not good for most people to be consumed in it, if they are. News is mainly the problems and horror of reality. Stop reading news, Ken. Go watch a movie, play a PC game, or listen to some Stockhausen Elgar?...
