This is indirectly linked to the oil prices, but the consensus in the UK media seems to be that all the financial problems at the moment are mostly caused by a vicious cycle of speculation (in the media, haha). I know very little about economics but it does seem plausible.

The whole biofuels thing annoys me the most, its a quick fix so that people don't have to use their cars less; and now food prices are too high for the poorest people. I haven't noticed food prices going up but maybe the amounts are kind of negligible to me because I'm only buying for myself.

why is it that when things have multiple causes people find it so hard to deal with? no i have to have ONE SIMPLE THING to blame

It's the nature of simplistic thinking; many people chose one issue or one group mindset, and this dominates their focus.

Look at politics in America: people often identify with being in one interest group or another, and every issue is seen from this group paradigm. The internet is another example: why would gender or sexual preference always be pointed out if people identified with multiple perspectives?

How many people actually want the truth when it rests outside of their well-established world view?
