A bit of a current event i wanted to discus is the continual drop in the price of oil. I personally love paying less at the pump but the drop in oil is not good on all fronts. An example would be a free fall of certain stocks on the New York Stock Exchange. The drop in oil is not only harming america but countries across the globe. Here is a URL to an interesting article i found that helps explain the global effect of the drop in oil.
