I would not bet on that. Right now fuel is cheap because the economy is doing poorly. As soon as we start to recover, the price will increase, causing the shipping prices to either stay near the same, or rise.
Good point.
Of all the tyrannies a tyranny executed for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. for it may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. For a robber baron's cruelty may cease; his cupidity may at some poitn be sadiated. But those who torment us for out own good do so without ceasing because they do so with the approval of their conscience. ~C.S. Lewis
