You said "Let the market decide". That's pretty funny, although you
didn't mean it to be funny. "The market" includes millions of fools
who have absolutely NO need for the special mechanical
characteristics of SUVs, but they bought them anyway because
advertising told them to. "The market" made some pretty lousy
decisions.

"Need" is not the determining factor, "want" is.


In your next message, you will say that "the market" will correct this
mistake. Don't count on it.

It's not a mistake - it's called 'freedom.'


Yeah. Freedom to feed more dollars to the country that gave us 9/11.
That's
called stupid.

If we were to stop buying oil from the ME it would not in any way
eliminate the problems there that it helped to create, it could actually
make them even worse.

Worse? Let me guess: Create more poverty, and thus more unrest?

A distinct possibility considering that the ME has no significant
economy other than oil.
