   It is amazing how fast retailers were to raise their costs during higher   
   heating prices and the lower dollar but when it comes to equalizing it all   
   out when prices dropped how come it does not reflect in our costs? In this   
   regard let them all go under. The hell with high management salaries. Eat   
   dirt.
