FR is a great place to let of steam. It saves from yelling at the wife for boucning a check, and grounding kids for watching MTV. But, that being said...we buy oil from vensezula....so what the heck is the fuss about. People here just go ape when the Kennedy's are involved in anything. Leave 'em be! And they will just vanish. The next gen of the Kennedy's are pretty dang stupid so they'll join the rest of us in our everyday struggle to make a career and find a job.
Man they pulled my comment....that sucks big time. Oh oh..I used the "s" word....
I guess you are just as worked up about us buying oil from Saudi Arabia. You know the Saudi's don't you...the place from where the 9/11 terrorists came from. Where islamic jihad was born.
As a matter of fact, Saudi oil doesn't thrill me either. I don't drive anymore. I walk. And no, I don't live in a big city where everything is readily available.
well buddy we live in the 21 centuary. Our airlines, trains and 18-wheelers need Saudi and Venenzula oil to keep this economy going. Open up Alaska and near-shore drilling, and I'd go ape over buying oil from the Saudi's...but until we value the prestine wilderness of Alaska more than funding a nation filled with jihadies...Venezula is a drop in the bucket.
GOOD! Less demand for the remaining supply. Maybe middle-income families will get the oil they need. You can bet for damn sure that none of the Kennedy Klux Klan will get a chill this winter.
Did you make a mistake in the above statement?
Let's see...this is what I ment to say...we as a nation don't care about the fact that our $$$'s in Saudi go toward Jihad. But, we do care that the Alaska wilderness is spoilt by drilling for oil. Our priorities are skewed.
Will Michael Moore attack the Kennedys for its oil interests, as he does the Bushes?
My word you dream big!
Let's see if the bribed remain bribed. I have seen a lot of ingratitude toward the US and our generosity over the years.
I doubt the recipients are going to bless Chavez. More than likely, they will continue to expect this sort of discount and complain mightily if it isn't continued in perpetuity.
Can someone from the NE explain why there is still so much usage of fuel oil for heating, there? Here in the Midwest, I recall when the oil companies were coming around to remove our old oil tanks. Most of us had switched to propane. In the country, I see a lot of those outdoor wood boilers for hot water heat. Even in the towns, where natural gas is used, the cost has caused folks to switch to pellet stoves.
Posters commenting on the fungible nature of oil have it right, IMO.
wanna buy sum oil?
