    Ah ok, I see how that works.

    Anyway, I thought I could stay out of this thread, but I have more point to make about an observation that just occured to me. It may just be coincidental, but it seems like every time gas prices rises and people start bitching, the prices stay high for a period of time to give big oil a tidy boost in profit. By the time the bitching reaches a fever pitch or there's an election, prices mysteriously fall. Again, this could just be a coincidence, but I have noticed this cycle.

    it doesnt?


    except for the fact that the ideological underpinnings are stated immediately when i make any point, and are the least unrevealed thing of all time. also, the ideas i have are called principles. you have none, just random babblings about moderation.

    another mildly relevant thing popped into my head recently regarding collusion.

    collusion is accepted in many forms. labor unions exist for the sole purpose of collusion against corporations to "fix" labor prices, but nobody minds that, i guess that isnt a violation of the free market somehow? colluiosn is only wrong when corporations do it?
