Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2002 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Here's an article about a fuel surcharge that some airlines added to the cost of tickets when jet fuel was more expensive than it is now. Even though the price per gallon has dropped dramatically the airlines have kept the surcharge. Why? Is it pure greed?
I think that "Is it pure greed?" is -- almost always -- a terrific question to ask, Salon-style: "Traffic safety has improved over the past five years. But is it pure greed?"
