We can't decide that energy will be low just because OIL WELLS are running low. Not only that, but Niugini is an underdeveloped country and its far from obvious that its problems with its airline really derive from the current expense of oil. I'll just go and buy shares in the world's presently largest uranium mine, Cameco. One problem that US airlines seem to be having is that customers now tend to want no-frills services, and aren't willing to pay the much more expensive prices of the current "major" US carriers just to be served mint julips in flight. Besides, just what is your purpose in putting about all this doom and gloom? Are you signed up? You sound to me like someone who's trying to convince us that the world is headed for doom, and therefore signing up for suspension is just a waste of money. Yes, economic problems do impact on our personal suspension arrangements because they can increase the cost of suspensions. A lot of inflation would make all our insurance policies so carefully set up worthless. Not to mention warfare which actually comes to the US, deadly flu epidemics, etc. The proper attitude is not to throw up ones hands in despair but to join with others and try to find at least a personal way out of the problem. Best wishes and long long lives for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=25857
