We have just finished how many years of "the sky is falling" media and DNC political campaign trying to defeat us from within. We are bound to have some bumps and bruising. I for one, love taking advantage of the sloth that listens to the rhetoric and sells at a reduced price. That is good business and opportunity knocking. <BR/><BR/>I like your blog. A friend suggested you. Check us out at the Grizzly Groundswell dot com.

On the other hand, no one notices small increases in beef and cereal prices. These are small because so much of the cost comes from publicity, processing, inventory, distribution and (especially) retail sales cost. Thus the importance of wheat production, as a percentage of GDP, is much lower than oil in America.<BR/><BR/>That said, I am also very much turned off by unjustified criticism of capitalism at work, might it be in the wheat or oil market. When such a comment is made, I ask my lady why she is not writing to her MP (the equivalent of a representative in Canada) against "big water"; how can Coca-Cola charge 2$ for a bottle of tap water?Able Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08405792763139956639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-11251815918962844642007-12-05T16:49:00.000-08:002007-12-05T16:49:00.000-08:00Wow.
