You should all stop complaining!!!!
America get things cheaper than anywhere in Europe. Be it CD's, DVD's, cars, clothes, computers, food, video tapes, stamps, phones...............America gets all these things waaaaaaay cheaper than anywhere else. You should all count yourselves lucky!
For example, how much does an average DVD cost in the States? About $24? Well, in Britain an average DVD would set you back the equivalent of about $31 so you really have NO IDEA how lucky American consumers are!

You're right, I understand what you're saying. When I was in Germany it cost almost $100 for a pair of Levis. Fast food was really expensive there too.

It was January 7 2001... not so long ago... it's inflation... not the president's fault either, unless he happens to be Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton or... a Democrat!

37 Cents is bad; I still write letters to relatives without computers, various NASA branches and sending money orders to order videos and video games.

To bast: You're not for Siegleman? If he wins, the lottery will give our schools tons of funding. Plus, some other good liberal policies .
