Where's arch anti-globalist Pearl of the Orient when you need some quality socialism. These days we have to "do" with Lunchtime O'Booze, with his dreadful halitosis and claims to be living in the electorate of Australia's new toffee Leader of the Opposition. But I digress. What is the price of oil doing to the Chinese economy? Not only do they have to pay world oil prices to ship in the raw materials, they have to pay world prices to ship the finished goods to the four corners of the earth. This week's Undercover Economist, written by our very own WhiteDesire, covers this vexing topic - http://timharford.com/articles/undercovereconomist/
“Avoid whatever is approved of by the mob, and things that are the gift of chance. Whenever circumstance brings some welcome thing your way, stop in suspicion and alarm ...They are snares. ... we think these things are ours when in fact it is we who are caught. That track leads to precipices; life on that giddy level ends in a fall.” - Seneca

Oh no I don't claim to live in his electorate ..rather I'd like to !!
Never fear..I am in touch with Comrade Pearl who is attempting to forment a revolution ( anywhere she can) and is currently having discussions of a Ugandan type in an establishment close by the docks of Hamburg.
Rice Farmer, it's pretty clear he meant to use the word "fermenting" as a play on words. Older and less dense people noticed the name of his Senor ("O'Tequila"). Get it now or do I need to draw you a picture?

That's a bit of a stretch, Bob. So, Henry -- in all honesty, did you mean "fermenting" as a play on words, or was it really "fomenting" you were looking for?
And Bob, do you want to come to drfrost3's defense as well, or do you acknowledge that he's a dumbass?

It's only a stretch for, as you say, dumbasses, Rice Farmer. And I have no desire or obligation to answer your "acknowledgement" question as I have better things to do than play childrens' games (on the other hand, the fact I'm responding to you unfortunately demonstrates I lack some sense of reasonable judgment).

Oh Bob, how disappointing. It was only the other week you were telling us that you've never claimed to an adult
