We of course understand we now live in a global economy.We of course understand that what happens in other parts of the world, particularly the energy producing nations affects us.But what CONCERNS us , the individual, on a day to day basis, is what the impact of those things happening has on us. My cousins in Sicily pay 6.50 US for a gallon of fuel and tell me that 3 or 4$ a gallon is cheap..Most of them ride bicycles or drive tinker toy cars and live in a social and economic culture far different than us.Oil dropped $3.15 today..it is now only 90.38 per barrel... Why don't I feel better????
