What's the most you would be willing to pay for sunglasses ?

I was looking on the Oakley website, and I was thinking "wow, these are real expensive just for sunglasses!" Why are they so expensive ?

Answer
There's a lot of technology that goes in their glasses.

Oakley has the most patents of any eyewear/sunglasses manuf. out there (over 300 patents).

Oakley glasses (specifically the lenses) have been proven time and time again by both government and private labs to be the best Combination of clarity and strength out there. YOu can find glasses with better clarity, but often the strength (impact resistance) of the lens suffers.

There's a reason why Oakley is one of the few manuf. of eye wear allowed by the US military to be worn in combat situations. Oakley has always considered it's glasses eye "protection", even the fashion glasses. https://secure.usstandardissue.com/Page.cfm?id=5

The facts speak for themselves.

Oakley's are expensive. Don't forget, they are considered a Luxury brand. You could ask the same question of Louis Vitton, Prada, Gucci, etc. Think about this, How much is your eyesight worth to you? $30? $40? $50? Priceless?

Consider this, a $20 pair of sunglasses from the gas station will provide you with UVA, UVB protection. Just like pair of Oakleys. However, they will not protect you from impacts. It may not be a bullet, but it could easily be a piece of gravel that a passing car kicks up while your walking to your car in the parking lot (has happened to me before). Shards of cheap polycarbonate cost a lot of money to remove from you eye. Gas station glasses do not provide UVC protection. As you wear cheap sunglasses remember, that your irises get bigger and will actually let in MORE non-visible light. Thus, you will be over exposing yourself to UVC rays, which, in the long run, causes eye damage. You would be better off NOT wearing sunglasses as your iris would get smaller, thereby letting in less light rays (visible or invisible).

Obama Inaugural Most Expensive in History

Despite the recession, Barack Obamaâs inauguration will be the most expensive ever and could approach $160 million â nearly four times what George Bushâs inauguration cost four years ago.

Slightly more than $42 million was spent on Bushâs inauguration in 2005, and Bill Clintonâs first inauguration in 1993 cost $33 million.

The federal government has already budgeted more than those figures, $49 million, for the inauguration. But the District of Columbia has projected its tab at $47 million, Virginia estimates it will spend $16 million and Maryland is looking at a $12 million tab.

Obama has raised $45 million for the inauguration festivities.

Adding in the costs of privately funded balls during inauguration week brings the total to nearly $160 million, according to the New York Daily News.

In an extraordinary step, President Bush has declared a state of emergency in the District, which will allow the government to provide additional funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to The New York Times.

Bush spokesman Scott Stanzel said never before has an advance declaration of an emergency been used for a ânon-disaster.â

An estimated 1.5 to 2 million people will be in Washington for the inauguration.

The bulk of the inauguration outlays will go for security. Transportation costs will add millions, as will the decision to open up the entire length of the National Mall and provide video and audio access to the swearing-in ceremony on JumboTrons.

If there is snow on inauguration day, the costs will be higher.

See, the thing is that most mainstream media will not broadcast the true figures, or will try and downplay them, in hopes of gaining access to the ball.
What I meant to put is AMERICAN mainstream media.

You are So Silly!!!! Because HE WON, that's Why!! He does NOT need to impress you anymore!!!!

He doesn't care - he's IN!!!! The inauguration is just the beginning for Mr. President.....Watch the personality change after the inauguration - Pres. Obama won't be doing much sacrificing, that's for sure!!!! He will live in luxury while preaching sacrifice & public service for the rest of us peons!!!!

He has his Chicago mansion, the White House, Michelle's Chicago designer (did you really believe that crap about J. Crew????) I think her name is Maria (the designer) - has been making custom clothes for the Missus for a long time - last I checked, the cheapest piece is $350 & on up to $4000 - a bit pricier than J Crew's catalog, ya think????), best private schools, & a brand new limo.

I'll have no problem sacrificing as much as our president does (in proportion to what we both receive, of course) - I will actually use him as a role model - now what could be more patriotic than THAT?!....

I am waiting for HIS LIST OF SACRIFICES for the greater good - do any of you have a copy of it????

Familiar?? "Do as I SAY, NOT what I do!".

Why is everyone so NAIVE this year????
