[[I wouldn’t blame the “speculators”, either. These people are simply involved in making a market for commodities.]]

I gotta dissagree on this- Yes, they are in business to make money, however, they bet on the bad fortunes of others- I personally could not do this- it was like the time in the past when wheat and corn speculators were betting that coming drought was goign to drive up prices- , which it did of course, however, this meant that those depending on the products suffered and the farmers of course were broken. Yeah, capitalism is fine, however, I just have a problem with folsk making fortunes off other people’s miseries

[[wouldn’t you bet that oil prices are headed upward, too?]]

Would it be smart to? Perhaps, would it sit well with me knowing that congress was playing with people’s lives and speculators were jumping on board? No- it wouldn’t and I would refrain- there’s more to life than money
