Replying to: cdnpinhead (Jan 12, 2009 7:17 pm) then they go to university, decide to go in a different direction and it isn't so great. we persuaded them to try a somewhat math oriented minor, but they decided to go for a double major(oh crap, they can barely scratch out a 3.0 in their major, but now want to do a double major). after starting their 2nd major courses, they are as happy as a clam. classes are small and profs seem great(u has a good rep in this school). anyways, we will be buying another car if they get a job for the summer. wife wants another one, but is no hurry to buy it and pass her current one on, if there is no reason to. otherwise the kids have to share our one real extra vehicle. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 12, 2009 7:00 pm) the reason the bottom fell out of prices: you actually had to be able to take delivery of the oil. Yes, you are close and even more amazing...prices kept spiking while demand was way down. It could have been the oil speculaters that started the real recession, but I think the banks would have done that anyway. We need watchdogs to inspect everything - the system is too complicated and can be easily manipulated. Capitalist system is great, but needs some tweeking.
