Yes, that's correct. You see if I give an OPINION I don't have to support it with FACTS and thusly you don't have to agree. That's how opinions work. If on the other hand I make a STATEMENT it will bear more credibility if I can support it with FACTS. You DO understand this now...right?

You said a "comparative analysis." That must mean more than an OPINION, it sounds as though some data is required.

The item-by-item comparison of two or more comparable alternatives, processes, products, qualifications, sets of data, systems, or the like. In accounting, for example, changes in a financial statement's items over several accounting periods may be presented together to detect the emerging trends in the company's operations and results.

See, you're wrong again...it does not. I made MY 'comparative analysis' and then formulated my OPINION on MY analysis. You may or may not be privy to my analysis BUT it is not required for me to pontificate my OPINION. This is much the principal that AG Holder is utilizing on the FnF controversy.

I try to follow the commodity and stock markets closely. I must say that the stock market is 100% manipulated and there is nothing real going on there.

This drop in commodities is alarming. Hopefully, its just a head-fake and we're not going to have a global meltdown. On the other hand, 7 billion mouths to feed and so much selfishness.....makes ya wonder....That $3 gas may not be so pretty.

Thanks for letting me know how honest you are Dickieboy.

So, you are not going to comment on the video either? I should have expected that from you Grim.

Fox was hardly the only station predicting exorbitant gas prices over the summer, it seems that the saving grace was in fact the economic slow down we're currently enjoying.
