It would be valuable, however, to compare each country's gas price to their median income (or something similar) so we could see how much each country has to pay relative to what they earn. As for your argument about the gold standard, your point is well taken. But a world currency!? I think you destroyed your own argument with that theory. Jamie,

The Dollar is SINKING, so using it to buy food, clothing, gas, weed, whatever... You are going to get porked. Ever since the Federal reserve took the gold away from the dollar, it has sank 5% per year. Now in the present bank caused crisis, we keep paying increasingly more for everything, because our money is worth increasingly LESS. In fact, the dollar has lost 50% of it's value in the last year! We either need to start a new gold-backed currency (Gold is at a record high right now.. quite a shame they stole the gold from us and now give us fiat currency). The dollar is sunk. They probably want it this way so they can get us to willingly accept a "world currency". To them, it means there is no exchange rate, and the currency would be worth the same all over the world. The problem is whoever controls the money controls everything, so watch out!

I wonder if there are studies that compare hybrid use to regular vehicles on highway mileage, etc. In the south we are paying $4.25 for regular unleaded. The cost of diseal fuel is just another .50 to .75 cents. If gas prices continue to rise which they will, people will have to make changes in their daily routine. I recently read bicycle stores are seeing and influx of sales along with scooters, and car-pooling. Lifestyles are changing because of this. The automakers will be the ones hit the hardest regardless of the hybrid models they plan on rolling out. I need to understand hybrid technology more.

I'm past the learning curve (at least for what I need) and I can get it to do what I want it to. Unlike my wife's blog at wordpress.com, I have no limits in terms of uploads and theme edits. She has to pay if she wants to edit a theme or get extra uploading space. Most of her friends use Blogger and she has complained that she can't find "cute" themes like they have. To answer your question, Caleb, about the difference between wordpress.org and wordpress.com; to my knowledge, they are the same company. They have .org for the people who host their own blogs, and .com for people who let wordpress host their blogs.
