I have heard people claim that maybe ronny wasn't so bad because some good things were happenning. Well gas prices were not the fault of carter and nither is ronny the culprit behind falling gas priceses. The reason gas priceses falling are because OPEC is losing control of the price. I feel there is ample evidence that the fall( or seeming fall) of OPEC is a direct result of the orginal price increases caused by OPEC. They needed control of a minimum percentage of the oil demand. By raising prices they caused users to use less and look elseware for their power needs. Pessimisticly yours, Don Coleman UC @ San Diego { ucbvax, philabs }!sdcsvax!sdccsu3!ee161ln
