I guess that $1 million from Exxon as a political donation would count more than $100 from me.
Yeah. But it won't count more than the $10,000,000 from GM, GE, Intel, ..... All those other large interests out there that will be hurt by an increase in the price of oil. Those costs are diffuse for them; they're concentrated.
I know you love conspiracies, but everything isn't a conspiracy.
USA oil is expensive oil and only worth thinking about if oil prices are high.
OK. What happened during all the time when Bush & Co. weren't in control? I didn't notice Clinton, Carter, LBJ, Kennedy ..... doing much about this.
I don't mind cartels. They always leak around the edges
You can use the word "always" in physics and math. Not in matters human. De Beers?
A major problems of governments is that they think they need to "fix" things. Which usually results in them damaging things further.
Agreed.
You're a weird guy. You're a left rightist. :-)
[You can't be a right leftist, because leftists are never right. :-)]
When oil supplies ran low, the prices should have been put up, not controlled or supplies controlled. When prices go up, that reduces demand.
And that I will agree with. Why didn't you volunteer as CA Guv Gray Davis's economic advisor? He REALLY needed you.
Fighting always leads to big messes and unhappiness.
Except when not fighting leads to big messes and unhappiness. Hitler?
A bonus theory is that "Weapons of Mass Destruction" are anything more than a knife, which can only kill one person at a time, and a
hammer, which can only break one window at a time.
Why is it that, considering that both can kill the same number of people, a conventional high explosive artillery shell is not a WMD and a chemical artillery shell is?
The USA is the bearer of more weapons of mass destruction than anyone else on earth and since they aren't keen on having universal
human rights, that's quite a worry and they need to be brought under control, which I'm in the process of doing.
We don't trust you monkeys with important things.
When you hit the beach over here. let us know. We'll take care of that problem.
I don't see why the USA and others get all hot and bothered about gassing.
Beats me. The only reason I can think of is that a bullet or an artillery shell in theory can be better targeted with fewer noncombatant casualties.
But then how do you explain nukes? |
