I posted this to a blog and I was encouraged by a friend to post this to the community:

Many agents are start up agents, new entry, new affiliates, and don't have the financial advantages of our more affluent realtors. It's difficult for them to compete.

Even though fuel costs are predicted by some to rise again throughout America, the higher the costs of fuel, including heating, and the higher the cost of nearly everything else wrecks havoc on our financial resources.

We must find alternative resources to assist in the sale process, including more vigilant interaction with the internet and telecommunications.

Buyer and seller assisted agency, and the communication that proceeds throughout the interaction, is now at a critical point because the United States is experiencing the worst energy crisis in the history of our nation.

It's also very easy for some to support a war they don't have to fight, because they have the affluence to endure the deprivation of critical resources needed to support commerce and industry.

Deprivation of important resources which will ultimately disable America, because America's government has disabled it's citizens through the piracy of the essential resources needed for life-support, and has perpetrated corruption of the economy at an alarming and incalculable magnitude.

It's past the point of lowering fuel prices. Justice should and will be sought to compensate our people for the damages. Damages to our families, to our neighborhoods, to our schools, to our businesses, to the environment, to the economy, to our homes, to our faith.

May God bless and protect all of my colleagues here in Active Rain, your families, neighborhoods and friends. Thank you for reading my post. I wish for your much continued success in all of your endeavors.
