Sell! And Save the Economy! --DeWese

Of course, the oil-producing sheikhs and the oil companies are not depressed. I won't name names, but the oil companies' earnings are breaking records, and the producers are awash in solid gold palaces and platinum Rolls Royces and, 'er, diamond-crested Ferraris.

People who have to drive anywhere, like work, are paying around $4 per gallon; their expendable income is down 18 percent, and their depression is up 142 percent. Another real big hurtin' is on the airlines and the truckers. They are either going bankrupt, already bankrupt, or cutting employees and routes. Depression among their executives is up 198 percent, and some are known to lunch on their feel-good pills washed down with martinis.
