to raise prices for 4 or 5 years, I consider their behavior nothing
less than extortion. They are subject to the same rescource/supply
conditions we are for production.

How much is the price increase, and how much is the dollar
drop? I can remember, in the not too distant past, when the dollar
was at parity with the Euro. We're down to, what, $1.60 to the Euro?
That would be a 60% price increase right there.
