I hate to say it folks, but the trend is up, up and...up. It is a terrible thing that the US has made itself dependent upon its enemies for the lifeblood of oil.

The last time I had to take a public bus in the US, I thought I was on a bus with the worst of the criminals and unlucky people in the whole county. Here in Germany you find managers with million dollar incomes, politicians, dentists, lawyers...everyone on the subway, in the trams, on a bus...
