You guys are sounding like Strictly Drillers when oil was $10! Cheer up. Think how much you made when times were good! Here's a little snippet from a friend of mine. He don't have a lotta faith in gummint tellin' the truth, but he's one pretty smart fellah. "Wherever men hold unequal power in society, they will strive to maintain it. They will use whatever means are convenient to that end and will seek to justify them by the most plausible arguments they are able to devise." -- Reinhold Neibuhr The US Energy Information Agency (EIA) admits studies are "reverse-engineered" in order to keep the liberal economic program intact!!! See page 221 in eia.doe.gov "These adjustments to the USGS [US Geological Survey] and MMS [Materials Management Service] estimates are based on non-technical considerations that support domestic supply growth to the levels necessary to meet projected demand levels." Translation: "We cooked the books to satisfy our political agenda." So ask yourself: "How much oil did the EIA need to find in its computer models so that Boeing could keep selling 747s? How much oil did the EIA need to find so General Electric could keep selling combustion turbines? How much oil did the EIA need to find to keep the oil companies from being nationalized? How much oil did the EIA need to find so that Islamic militants and terrorists wouldn't be tempted to use the 'oil weapon'? How much oil did the EIA need to find so that Canada would keep sending her dwindling fossil fuels south?" "All this was inspired by the principle -- which is quite true in itself -- that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily, and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes." -- Adolf Hitler Ever since its inception, US government has been the plaything of the rich. In short, we now have the best government money can buy. But now that the country is facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions, we actually need a government that can think and act on behalf of the common good. What a mess...
