Wouldn't want the ignorant to realize that OIL is the energy for the entire world. Every economy, every country, every business. The flow of oil is what keeps the civilized world moving forward rather than back to the 'dark' ages.

Everyone mentions oil as though it's a boogey man and the left keeps claiming all these conspiracies between President Bush and the Saudis - but that's all they do. Claim a conspiracy without a shred of evidence to back up their theories. The geopolitics of the world are complex, way beyond my knowledge, but I'd think the importance of oil was something we could all understand. Personally, I think this is a great time for the President to push for Alaskan oil drilling and alternate sources of fuel, etc. Happy Holidays, OldFriend.
