High gas prices bring out the crybaby in Americans. The wording of a Gallup poll catered to that tendency as it asked people whether they believe current gas prices are “fair” or “unfair.” Such terminology seems better suited to a kid’s temper tantrum than to characterizing the impersonal workings of global commodity markets. Still, 78 percent of respondents seized the chance to declare current gas prices unfair, while 20 percent (less querulously, though no more logically) said they’re fair.
