I also like this bit from Stossel's book Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity"When Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992, the state's attorney general, Bob Butterworth, was outraged by the 'unconscionable' gouging.

i took a look at this post and thought it was funny because it was during a time when i went crazy with the whole moveon.org thing.
but i remember hurricane andrew and the aftermath while growing up in florida. & i just think it's all under circumstance whether or not price-gouging is bad. i guess that's true for anything?
I guess you are the person I thought you were. Congratulations, haha. I thought you would have something written about Ireland in your journal, but maybe those posts are all friends only.
