Hating High Prices to Death

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, January 24. 2008 08:00
Are you upset at high prices? Think the cost of living has become too much to bear?

One way to deal with it would be to have a rational discussion with the economic leaders of your country, coming up with reasonable ways of reducing inflation and increasing the value of your currency. After such discussions, action can be taken by the lawfully-elected legislature to help alleviate the problem.

Or, you could just burn stuff.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Okay, it may just be me, but I think I like the "burning stuff" option better. It seems like a great way to vent...
