Guessing time! Game time! Bet on oil futures!......ahahaha...
See, you are now in the unhappy intellectual emotional position
to have to look at two opinions, like the man with two clocks. He
never knows exactly what time it is.........which leaves with the
hard and lonely choice that the young fat-man offered some 2600
years ago:
"Bros, do NOT believe 'cuz it is written in an official text, or 'cuz
the man of authority said so, or because everybody else does.
Believe only what you yourself judge to be true" - Gautamo Buddha
ahahaha......ahahahanson
