*OT* GST, you are not exactly calling "a spade a spade".

If I can speak for the Big Dog, the BDBBR is not intended to be a place for you to voice your political opinion on the evil oil indutry ad nauseum. It is intended to be a place for investment ideas, which is exactly why you don't find so many left-leaning idealists here and why you don't fit in here.
Leeway is given on the weekends because politics and policy do affect our investment ideas to some degree.
You can see from the number of recommendations that your posts get that some here do think globally.

Though I am a part of the oil industy and make my primary living from it, I happen to agree ideologically with a lot of what you say and I share similar world views.
I would change one thing though and state that energy is the life-blood of industrialized countries, not just oil. Look to places like Iceland and even France who, for their size, rely in large part on other energy sources such as geothermal and nuclear. Oil is the energy source of choice for most though.

There will always be rich and poor; have's and have-not's. You cannot have one without the other. LIFE IS NOT FAIR.
The BDBBR is not the place for you or your posts - there are many places on SI for you to air your opinions.
You are not going to change anyone here or make a difference and your posts have zero relevance to investment ideas, which is why we all check in here every day.
However, asking you to leave is not my decision.
