I know its insane...
I'm in central MA on the NH border. I'm surprised to see the price of diesel
fall at this time of year. We had a little snow (just a dusting) yesterday...

Where are you located? That is just insane, OK usually has the
cheapest
fuel in the country and diesel did drop but is still 3.15.

mileage ever number above 32mpg.

I also believe that we fail to give television the proper credit for
population reduction (in the U.S. at least). Before television, there
were few other "entertainments" available for the evenings. ;)

There could be much truth in that. Just looking at India [I spent some time
there and a lot more doing some detailed studies of population and
development], the birth rate shows an almost exact inverse relationship to
the education level for women [wouldn't touch that for the US, but it does
suggest an approach to population control in many poor countries], and also
to the hope of financial advancement. IE, when you have nothing, one more
mouth to feed = the possibility of another worker to help the family; when
you have a little and want a better life style, another child is held to be
an economic burden. A new TV beats out that extra child many times. I'll
leave the relationship of those items to more affluent societies with low
birth rates to the social scientists.
