CYBERKEN, Thanks for making my point. Your comment was: >>>Bad citizens are those who wander through life thinking they have the right, through their government, to confiscate the assets of people more productive than themselves, and that they can create energy shortages and have everyone else pay their way... >>> I would change it to read: Bad citizens are those who wander through life thinking they have the right, [because of their money and corporate status], to confiscate the assets of people [different] than themselves [who are viewed as less productive], and that they can create energy shortages and have everyone else pay their way... For example, Texaco in Africa? Or perhaps, Chevron in S. America? Yet again, maybe the consistently fraudulent acts of the oil companies in avoiding the government fees/taxes associated with the pipeline transportation of oil/gas are a good example? Slandered by the media? I think not. Oil cos. get left alone, in large part, by the mainstream media. Must be some reason for that. . . regards, ham
