Relative? Relative to what? Is the color blue actually blue, maybe someone else see's blue but it's green to you but everyone calls it blue because thats how they recognize it. Insane? Thats what I read when I read your post, relative to what?? How about relative to a YEAR ago, to two years ago. Never in history has gas prices gone up this much, this fast, there is nothing to relate it to.
And we have another winner...

It's like you read my mind and then wrote it all down. You have said everything I've been saying for years, only much better. I was raised fundie, and as a kid I was taught to help the down and out, to take care of the earth, etc. And then as I grew up, I realized the people who taught me this actually wanted to do the opposite of what they said. I want no part of that. And now, 30 years later, they are even further away from what they preached than they were. All I see now is hatemongering and evilness, far from the loving, helpful, Jesus-like people we were taught to be.
Thanks Murrymom, you are right on."
Are you a Sojourner? (www.sojo.net - Marxism with 'Christian' lingo)
Then you are probably not old enough to remember the first gas crunch when the price of gasoline essentially doubled overnight. Before the current run-up (Katrina), I was paying $2.50. OK, it's basically jumped to $3, but it ain't $5 yet.
