Home Building Permits Near 4.5 Year High

[Chloe]

I'm just responding to the experts who said Obama will bring $6.00 Gas and take your Guns

$6.00 would have totally sucked but at the same time it probably would have helped continue a much stronger and more urgent push towards more efficient cars and cleaner energy research.

Right. The cheapest energy sources will win out.

Maybe but I know too many young couples who drive at least 30minutes to a job making less than $10 an hour. It would be nice if we could do that without gas prices going that high.

Actually Cigar said it. And he is correct. People on the right did predict extremely high gas prices under Obama. We have yet to reach those prices. Gas did break $4 per gallon near me and are now at $3.52. Too high, but not as high as predicted. So he isn't tilting at windmills. You tend to use such phrases in an attempt to poison the well. You have seen that Cigar enjoys drinking that poison, so you can stop wasting your time poisoning wells.

Yes, I know, but I'm talking about where anyone here said it. My point has to do with the relevance of his response to what I'd said in response to his OP. So he is tilting at windmills when it comes to engaging in discussion.

Look up poisoning the well, peter, you use it inappropriately. It is used prior to anyone responding, not in a response to what someone says. The idea comes from poisoning a well before someone can drink from it, not ineffectually after.
