For sure...the sensitivity is extrememly high when the end result is higer prices...not so much going the other way. I've always wondered by there have never been price wars among stations or corporations like in air travel...I guess there's no alternative to gasoline-powered car travel. (1 hr ago | post #32)

Remembering Hawaii in the 70’s and 80’s
Hmm, never been there despite passing it all the time...I'll check it out. About 20 pounds ago, our haunt was Stuart Anderson's upstairs for $2 mondo beers, 1/2 off appetizers (Wagon Wheel Sampler!), and NTN Trivia!!! (14 hrs ago | post #2731)

Obama starts isle vacation tomorrow
Yah, I'm with you. He's an honorable fellow with more integrity than not. Too bad the baggage he'd bring, i.e. neo-cons in his party, spoil it all. If a Republican were elected in 2000, it should have been him and not W. His idiotic supporters like you mention are just as bad as Obama's, so at least it's a wash. (19 hrs ago | post #112)
Well, maybe except if you are not-for-profit corporation which seeks to break even and accomplish a social good. Your second thought is somewhat correct. The uber-rich can only spend so much and have so many cars and toasters. A good case for also investing in lower strata of the economy since poor people tend to spend money they get in their hands and circulate more of it. No doubt, though, that the uber rich drive the economy with their capital. (19 hrs ago | post #25)
Hmm, very interesting observation...thanks for pointing that out. Thinking back on my experiences and interchanges this is very much the case, though I sense that other demographic considerations are a part of this like education, professionalism, etc. (19 hrs ago | post #30)
Honolulu Lite: Obama newest "I Hate Mayo Club" Member
LOL...I like that part about the best meal they've ever had. However, my Kuaaina burger wouldn't be the same without it. The interesting thing is that Americans are the ones who devolved mayo into what you describe. It's origins are acutally that of a complex sauce, one of the mother sauces defined by Escoffier. The thing that blew my mind years ago was eating some beef stew with friends. A couple plopped a huge dollop on their plate. Looking in amazing I was like WTF? Their response, "Ever had beef stew and mac salad? Same thing." What can you say after that? (19 hrs ago | post #2)
Driver who fled crash gets 10-year sentence
Yes, that line from the paper about expressing condolences but not regret sat with me the wrong way. That is unfortunate. I hope he realizes that by doing so he may help the victim's families heal a little. (19 hrs ago | post #114)
Driver who fled crash gets 10-year sentence
I thought believing in the Christian god, specifically accepting Jesus Christ as savior, and repenting is how to get into heaven. Maybe in his ten years, he will do such a thing if he is/will be christian. (19 hrs ago | post #112)
