So your only disagreement with the Huffington ad is the singling out?

No. It was, though, a point that showed your statement was wrong about their equivalence.

If it had targeted all users of petroleum products, you would agree with it?

No. It is demagogic.

I understand you are one of the arrested development drug obsessed types and you think the other was demagogic and it bothers you.

As far as this, though, the purchase of oil vs purchase of illegal drugs and how much may go to terrorist groups is not nearly equivalent.

It would be like making no distinction between prescription drugs and illegal drugs as far as where the profits go.

That we are too dependent on ME oil is a fine point. Huffington doesn't even come close to making it. Nor is her attempt to make it rational or honest.

My advice to you is to stop taking illegal drugs. It messes up your thought.

If we imported prescription drugs from terrorist-supporting countries, as we do oil, that would be a valid comparison.

I don't---nor the deadly addictive legal drugs tobacco and alcohol. My advice to you is to stop making ad hominem arguments.
