Our towns: January 2008 Archives

Swami, I don't understand. Maybe someone can explain why oil prices on the open market recently drop almost $10.00 per barrel, and,the price we pay at the pump goes down about 3 cents. But when the price goes up $10 per barrel the price we pay goes up 20 cents. Why is this? I say it's PRICE GOUGING. Signed: LEHcardinal@aol.com

Dear Swami, it’s about time we seniors get something free. We deserve it. It’s great that we can get free bus and train rides in the governor’s transit proposal. What do you think? Glad in Gurnee

Dear Swami, In this New Year, let us move beyond talking about the importance of loving ourselves and put into practice the actions that ensure our mental, physical and spiritual balance. Let's become guardians of our well-being; no one else can give us this nurturance, this root love and support that is so necessary and achievable. Signed, Betty Cooper, a.k.a., icyblk401@sbcglobal.net
