"And it won't stop there, according to economics professor and transportation expert William Shughart, of the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Miss. Because gas figures into the cost of nearly every item or service Americans buy  whether as a petroleum product or part of the delivery cost  a long-term price hike could have significant consequences for the American economy."

No truer statement has ever been made, William may not connect all the dots, but he certainly has a handle on the consequences.

Pesonally, I doubt anyone is even paying attention. I have to admit it, I make it a point to disregard things too, I don't want to hear.

Human Nature I guess, here where most things are cooking along, it would be hard not to look at things in a good light. I'm certainly a happier camper, I still need to get over the proverbial hump though.

I haven't had that feeling of safety, had that "we are out of the woods", type thing come over me yet. I'm still staying aware, thankful for what is and has been an almost normal semblance of life, while still maintaining the vigilence learned.

Anyone else feeling the same way?
