Yeah, I remember four years ago (I checked because we had a new President), and a gallon of milk where I shop was $2.85. Yesterday, it was $3.35. So that's fifty cents in four years, around twelve cents a year or around 4.3%, roughly. I also just had to buy a new clothes dryer. The old one was $278, in 1994 (19 year...more

Who are these non-religious people, who also don't want to commit to atheism? They seem suspicious to me.
