					<description>I disagree, sir.  

Sorry for being picky, but gas doesn't come out of the ground.  Crude oil does, and it requires some effort to become gasoline.  Regardless, gas is way too damn expensive.  If most people didn't need to use it and hadn't already built their lives around $1/gallon gas prices years ago, I doubt the demand would be high which would drive the prices down.  Even if everyone wanted more efficient cars, I don't think the car dealerships would be willing to accept such a high volume of trade-ins and/or offer way less than those cars are worth thereby making a trade-in a big starting loss of cash for the consumers.   Sorry for the rant.  

I don't drink coffee, but the amount of money people spend at places like Starbucks makes me laugh.  Of course to most of them, paying $2.99 for a comic book would probably be more laughable.... even paying $1.99 for a downloaded comic book would be.  

$1 per song is still ridiculous.  Trent Reznor doesn't even charge for his.  Now THAT'S a bargain. 

$1.99 for a comic, cool as it is?   Doesn't SLG offer theirs for $0.69?  Now THAT'S a bargain.  

I hope you make a mint, sir, but I will either buy the heavily discounted hard copies or read it for free.  Not sure which, yet, but I like what I've seen so far.  

Best of luck.</description>

					<description>$3 for a coffee is expensive. Coffee grows on trees.

$4 for a gallon of gas is expensive. It comes out of the ground.

$1 for a song? $2 for a comic book? BARGAINS!

					<description>Congrats to Clickwheel and Richard Starkings.  

$.99 is too expensive for a song. 
$1.99 is WAY too expensive for a comic book.  

I hope lots of people buy Elephantmen on Clickwheel.</description>
