You Decide

Nov 4 every 4 years, America decides on the president of the glorious states of America.

Similarly, we have to make decisions each day. Few months ago when price of petrol shot up like crazy, we never thought that it would ever go down again, well, at least not at this level. Most people have decided during the high petrol price, to cut on traveling and thus one way or another hurts many other economies such as tourism, hotel business, airlines and commodities. One way or another, although some people said that the recession starts due to the credit crunch in the united states, i believe that somehow that the very high oil price have contributed to the slowness of the world economy. When people decided to use less petrol and carry out numerous activities to promote energy efficiency, the demand of oil starts to drop really badly. This is followed by the price of oil itself.

So people, we have decided to use less petrol, and now our decision have resulted in something that we have always wanted. So decide on something, and hope for the consequences!

I hope that we will continue to practice a very moderate use of petrol so that there will be no reason for the price to shoot up like crazy again.

Amidst the economic recession, several industries have managed to maintain business as usual or even continue making profits. They are the beer industries, tobacco companies and casinos. During times like this more people drink because they want to forget about the reality. More people smokes because they say they want to chill out. More people gamble because they believe and they feel that they will be lucky, hoping that they will be making easy money. and so i heard this morning, an advice given by someone in the business segment to buy on stocks from the three industries mentioned earlier. But are we not becoming the friends and families of evil by buying the stocks? You decide for yourself!
