RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Artificial diamonds ?????Good points, rdgeo! rdgeo44 wrote: Good morning WI. Are you questioning my statement that A;lberta is suffering from low oil prices? As an interested observer I can only comment on what I read & experience everyday. According to our local newspaper, even the fast food outlets are suffering & the full serve restaurants are definately suffering. Unfortunately it seems our oil production costs were allowed to rocket up when oil was $100 + a barrel & now the piper has to be paid. Our socialist government is forecasting a massive deficit in the next 3 years, as the royalties from oil & gas plummet and of course they dont know how to cut back. More government, more taxes, that's their mantra, common sense be damned. You ask, what do we do now? My suggestion is to be like an ostrich & bury your head in the sand until this has all passed over. Remember the words of Raymond Seitz (1940-?) "American history promotes the the idea of solving problems while British history suggests problems are to be managed. Americans are therefore given to reinventing the wheel whereas the British believe they invented the wheel in the first place". Have a great day & keep promoting our MPV......rdgeo
