By setting prices and production levels, OPEC directly contributes to rising prices at the pump. OPEC has been sponsoring conferences with the world's non OPEC (member) countires, encouraging them to cut production of their oil by billions of gallons per day, in hopes the petroleum industry will become the next gold rush. These non OPEC countries used to pick up the slack from OPEC countries and that's whyin years pastm gas prices were reasonable and affordable. Of course, the non OPEC oil giants are NOW working with OPEC and gas prices have been rising steadily for several years now as a direct result. This is illegal price-fixing and it's a conspiracy.

How, from whom, and for how much did "Peter Jackson" obtain the film rights to The Lord of the Rings?

Miramax was obviously involved in the process. At the time, the task would have been beyond PJ's financial reach and would have been a complicated legal issue even for an experienced copyright attorney.

Was PJ's script written prior to acquisition of the rights? If so, how influential was that to the owner? How do you find out who owns the film rights to a given book? Is there a super-duper secret list somewhere or is it all inside info?

If the Rapture occurs just any time, without us being able to predict it, why do so many Christians worry?

These are the same Christians who pass hours worrying about investing, whether in IRAs or CDs, and what is the market like, and whether their children will "do well." What's the big deal? Did Jesus teach us to worry so much about material comfort and wealth?
