      You can't just say something like that without some sort of explanation.

      A) High gas prices compel people to drive less and buy more fuel efficient vehicles.

      😎 It speeds the development of public transportation infrastructure and usage and slows urban sprawl.

      C) High gasoline and natural gas prices make alternative energy sources like solar and wind more cost competitive and encourage their development and overall usage.

      D) Cheap gasoline exacerbates pollution, of which Houston has too much.  Cheap natural gas means more of it gets flared off at the well head, increasing pollution and destroying a commodity in the most spectacularly wasteful manner possible.

      E) Texas in general, and Houston's economy in specific, are deeply dependent on the energy sector, and prices this low are not healthy for it.

      F) I've been laid off twice before because of significant drops in oil and natural gas prices.  I'm not looking forward to being laid off a third time.

      Do I get full credit now, Chief? 🙂

        Ehhh…. You could go into a little more detail 🙂

        All of that makes sense.  I appreciate getting some context.

          I figured it would be more unpopular without context. Explaining that it's bad for the planet, my state, my city and me personally sorta takes away from the initial impact.

                Yeah I liked it better when it was unpopular. Now you're just a rationalist 😞

                      His eighties stuff is hilarious. I saw a shoot with a young Jason Statham and the stuff reminded me of Tommy Hilfiger. Now he's been allowed to reinvent himself. Fair enough I suppose but I can't shake those prior transgressions. Also saw a $900 pea coat that was made on China. Otherwise I do enjoy dinner of his stuff.

                        I strongly hate soccer and pizza.
                        However, I love spaghetti.
                        This has to mean something, but I don't know what.

                              He's probably never had good pizza.  Everyone knows Italians are terrible at it.

                                    I hate bad pizza too, but I don't hate pizza. Huge difference.

                                      I really love VPN style Neapolitan pizza. I avoid pizza generally so when I cheat it gotta be good.

                                      Deep dish and stuffed isn't pizza. Love ya Chicago but that's something else. And also pretty gross.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        Pizza is usually too hot, but when it cools, becomes disgusting. In the USA (NY) it'is a bit better, for that "pepperoni" thing, but not my style. In all cases, pizza burns my palate, and I can't stand it.
                                        regard to soccer, forget it, I get bored just thinking about it.
