    That's not my kid! What now?

Her ashes are separated, half going on a journey with my step-father to I do not know where, the other half...

    Torpedo Ghadafi.

    Lets just eliminate Ghaddafi with whatever means necessary. That would eliminate speculators driving up the oil price in the mean term ruining everyone else's investment nest egg. Or kill Wal(Main) street by doing nothing. Discuss.
