Scumbria,

One fact about petroleum that is generally overlooked, is that it is the base product of plastics, medicines, paints, fertilizers and many chemicals.

Yes, I actually thought that those uses of oil might have been behind some of Tenchusatsu's concern over the release of the Strategic Oil Reserve this past fall.

You know how Tench gets into computer games....I thought maybe he felt that it was inappropriate for Clinton/Gore to release the oil to bail out easterners/midwesterners, and instead it should have been used it to build more PCs. ;~))
