I decided if I'm going to have a blog, I might actually want to occasionally contribute some content. Here's what's been occupying my thoughts lately.
1) Gas Prices - When I first moved to Atlanta about 7 years ago, gas was barely $1.00/gallon. I hadn't see prices this low anywhere else in the country. Looking at what we have today, I just can't understand what went wrong. When I can't make sense of something, I suspect there's a scam somewhere. Hurricanes aren't new, yet I don't remember this happening in the past. Not saying it never did, just that I don't remember it. We have 2 separate issues with gas right now. Shortages [in the Southeast anyway] and prices. Now, having traveled extensively, I know that gas is still a relative bargain in the U.S., but that doesn't mean it's OK for prices to shoot up as they have with no tangible explanation. All I hear is that it's the speculators. Well, make them stop speculating! I'm forr free market economics, but there has to be a limit. Of course, long-term, we need to find alternative fuel sources. This should be priority one in my opinion, because when we do it,we can send those OPEC &*^&%$ a serious wake-up call.
