I loved David Lynch's work as much as I hated listening to him talk about art. The whole "Do what you love, do it well, just be yourself" thing sounds great but is actually horrendous advice unless you're already successful or independently wealthy. If you actually have to pay rent and stuff do not approach any creative field like that! ...
Is there a word for when you take your conclusion and state it as a fact that serves as the premise of your argument ...

This experiment with letting a small handful of people amass most of the wealth in a society and then inflict something devastating on the world when they reach middle age and realize no one likes them seems to have run its 5000-year course. We might not need to run additional trials. ...

I vote for the bottom, where is gas that high? That is just insane.

Well, to be fair, this is probably the only way this individual can offer the product and still stay in business. Ideally, of course, he'd just give the stuff away at cost, and the Disaster Relief fund would reimburse him for any losses. But given what it must cost to get the gasoline to his place these days, the prices might not be so unreasonable. I see it as another example of the government's failure to make it possible for local life to exist in any kind of functional way, rather than a greedy bastard out to soak a miserable situation and its desperate victims. Then again, I don't know the context of the photo, so it's entirely possible that that's EXACTLY what he's doing, in which case, he's going to Hell, most likely.

The BP station was in MidTown Atlanta. And was one of about 10 stations in town to more than double prices after the storm. All are being investigated and will pay in the end for their gouging.
I wonder what's in the bag? if it's water, diapers, or food I would say he's surviving. If it's Nike's and X-box I would say he's looting.
