Oh, I'll snap a picture when I find diesel over $7, but this morning I saw $6.96

It seems that some folks here have slightly misunderstood Occams Razor. It's not exactly the 'simplest' explanation that tends to be the correct one, but rather the one that requires the fewest number of assumptions. Bobs analysis also incorporates Hanlons Razor, which reminds us to never attribute to malice that which is sufficiently well explained by stupidity.

10 points for Bob

Wow, there really is a second person in the world that understands the basic concept of Occam's Razor!

I met a 20 something kid from Belarus who didn't know Lech Luenza from Poland, glasnost, perestroika or Gorbachev. They were erased from history for his upbringing. Never to be spoken of. Not a desirable kind of society IMO. Another guy keen on the Ukraine conflict was angry that Ukraine had attacked Russia provoking war. He also educated me that Russia was responsible for the creation of hundreds of countries. I just nodded and backed away calmly. Losing the truth has got to be bad juju. How could it be good?

That is sad, but seems that every country does that to some extent. There are certainly a lot of factual errors in this country written right into the history books.
