    Hey, I have!

    Then again, I haven't suggested anything.

    Maybe they should just keep it the way it is so I can come from Finland to buy cheap booze, gaso and almost legal computer games. (j/k)

      Gasmaske: the bull sh!t is going both ways here. Apparently, living in a country does little for your knowledge about it. It makes you think you know things that just ain't so.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        In support of DanS, "OPEC vs Russia"

        Russia is already feeling some pain: the prospect of a [oil] price war sent the rouble down sharply. On November 19th, it reached a record low of 29.80 roubles to the dollar.

          Have you not noticed my total silence on the subject?

          After all i only lived in Russia for five years, including before and after the devaluation of the rouble. And I know I don't know **** about the place.
