    The one thing that I noticed in the artical was that the people who were pulling the trailer made the comment that they said that didn't know how people were making it with high prices but they themselves will likely continue to do what they do without change. We have a mentality as a species that if the neighbor can do something we can do it as well, we push the limit on everything whether it is size of cars, size of our houses, types of vacations and many other things. This competetive trait is the thing that will drive us to ruin, the advertisers of products figured this out years ago, until people as individuals decide that they are going to change we will continue to pay for fuel until it is gone.

      We do tend to overdue from time to time until we learn our lesson, don't we. You can't tell somebody not to do something; it seems they have to figure it out for themselves, generally through error. How many movie stars with huge salaries eventually go broke.

      The big house is hollow once you have it. Too costly to furnish, high taxes, high everything, hard to keep clean.

      A downturn sometimes is a good thing because it makes people re-evaluate their lifestyles and make better decisions.
