All of the posters above have made good points. I would add that perhaps the most significant point is that this "unbiased" observer points out the benefit of maximizing the number of suppliers without once considering the prospect of drilling and producing our own known sources of oil. Environmentalists have no interest in preserving or protecting the environment. They are socialists. And every dollar that you give to the Nature Conservancey, the Sierra Club or any other environmental group will be spent in an effort to bring about more socialism in the United States. It is a myth to believe that we are still a free society. Whether you have admitted to yourself or not, you are now a serf and you work for a pervasive and cruel master. The single largest item in your budget is not the cost of living for your family, not your personal savings, but the cost of taxes that Democrats are spending to buy votes from their constituents to gain more power over your life.

If you disagree with my conclusions or have a different point of view, we would very much like to hear it. We are discussing this very topic on another thread. Please give us your input.

We could, of course, "un-nationalize" the oil facilities, and give them back to their rightful owners (Exxon et al.).

Hear, hear! It's time we took back the property of American corporations, stolen by terrorists and used as an economic weapon against us (and finances military weapons, as well).
