About Me

Location: Massachusetts, United States

My "I" is constantly changing (perhaps this is merely AD/HD): overdetermined nexus of cultural forces emanating from several continents: skeptical of all Truths and seeker of the truth: iconoclast by enculturation, brain chemistry, and, perhaps, choice: perpetually perplexed, particularly about why we exist/ as the manifestation of overdetermined forces whose existence (and nature) is not as solid (or simplistic) as we would like.

Cold and High Energy Prices: Dorothy Should Stay in Oz, Kansas is Going to Get Hit by a Cold Energy Price Twister

People in New England, as well as people in Kansas and any place where winter means bone chilling cold, are going to have their backs against the financial wall due to the sharp rise in energy prices. (CPI numbers came out today and the CPI was up 1.2% in September, a rate higher than any seen since 1980, and with an over 12% rise in energy prices.) I still can't figure out why anyone would have expected anything but higher energy prices after electing and then reelecting two guys with close ties to the oil industry.
