i think it's well-written. answers all my questions. whether a the bus was at the gate, or whether it rolled through the hallway of a federal building, citizens in this country should not be forced to show papers on demand when travleling public transportation.
They shouldn't run public buses on federal land. If the woman had no intention of getting off, why should she be subjected to an ID check? it's the government's job to secure areas, not our job to give up freedom to make it easy.
a public bus shouldn't run through federal property, it's not this woman's fault it did? why should she, in america, be required to show id when she had no intention of entering federal land?
Well, that is the definitive defintion -- if you will -- of scarcity. Also, oil is fungible. You can't track back and lay out the exact costs of drilling etc. It's a traded commodity, is it not?
Actually, I think you're wrong. Scarcity and shortages are not the same thing. A shortage of a product does not necessarily mean there is any less of the product. It means there is a shortage at existing prices. If the price was lower the demand would THEN cause a shortage. And as you probably know, since oil is a fungible commodity, prices are determined as much by the future (price of fixing the gulf area refineries) as by the past (high demand).
