In what sense do you feel I'm an odd person?

Sorry, if you feel offended.

If you are a clear thinking individual with basic understanding of the scientific method, we are not in disagreement.

I usually go to library to rent DVDs.

In regards to reading I have not read a serious book since I finished reading "The Great Gatsby" and "Joy Luck Club". I was going to wait till I retire but now my eye sight is really bad. So I may only just Google Reading for the rest of my life.

If everybody voted for me. I'd stop this stupid war and focus our energy into stealing Iraq, Iran, and everybody else'es oil.

We'd be all like "These are just crates of fireworks. K thanx..." then leave.

And I'll blame it on organized crime so the U.N. can't scream and (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) at me..


If I had half the chance this country would become steampunk vikings.

Default Fed could burst oil's bubble

Central bank rate cuts have devalued the dollar, fueling the rise in crude prices; but if rate slashing stops, oil's rise may ease.

By David Goldman, CNNMoney.com staff writer
Last Updated: April 29, 2008: 11:34 AM EDT\\

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Crude oil prices and the value of the dollar have been marching in different directions for months. But that may shift if the Federal Reserve signals on Wednesday that its rate-cutting campaign has come to a close.

One factor that has sent the dollar down and oil up recently has been the Federal Reserve's months-long round of rate cuts. In an attempt to stimulate the ailing U.S. economy, the central bank has cut rates by three percentage points since September. But the rate cuts are also inflationary, weakening the dollar and sending oil prices higher.

"The weak dollar is a major detriment to the price of oil," said Stephen Schork, publisher of the energy industry newsletter The Schork Report. "It's keeping prices artificially high."

OIL PRICE FELL OVER $3 TODAY.
*NYMEX Crude Oil -3.12 -2.63% 115.63

Oil falls below $116. Dollar is stronger.
