    It's not a normal part of supply and demand. Speculators are a part of the market, but it is a problematic part, as I have described in detail.

    Bullchit, I frequently do depending on the topic. Some issues I feel strongly about, have studied, and have developed ideas on how to solve them. Other issues simply interest me and I discuss them . . . hopefully with someone less tiresome than yourself.

    What I don't do is to make snap proposals without having studied it. I am simply discussing an issue here that may have several solutions or no solution at all. You will toss off a rash proposal that is full of holes and I will chop it into tiny bits. I prefer to make pragmatic proposals that are difficult to assail. I make those when I choose on issues that I choose.

    Believe me, it does not require a counter-proposal to refute your position.

    Everybody knows who is being childish here, martin.

    Sounds like Dr. Seuss. Enjoy your book, Junior.

    the problem is what, the prices get too high? thats not a problem for the guys who are speculating, nor is it a problem for the seller. but i know red has a "me wanty" attitude so it is a problem for him.


    there is no "solution" when the "problem" is that people are allowed to buy and sell things from each other.

    my proposal is almost always that we leave peolpe alone and do nothing.

    you create solutions that are themselves the problem. you want to solve things merely because you are controlling and want to be king of the universe up in everyone's business.

    oops i mean good luck finding "solutions" to the "issue" of freedom. cant have folks continuing to voluntarily exchange things without some sort of red interference.

    oh my lord that would be awful if there were no "solution" and folks were allowed to trade their things freely. i am scared of what could happen if you dont find solutions.

    Dude you just are addicted to dispute, no matter how ridiculous it makes you look. :insane:

    Now you are "scared" of "interference" from an anonymous internet character who is simply discussing issues that you dislike. :lol:

    This debate is over. Now get in your last word and make a complete and utter fool of yourself.

    nah that's the trick, the speculators raise the prices so high that when gas falls to 3.50 cents a gallon people are relieved. It's a trick. Fuck speculators, I would light a cig and laugh if they were all hung on national television.
