Sounds like a good argument for gun control: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed—and thus clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." My gawd, but you do use some big words for a chap who lives in a wickiup. Were you with Geronimo?

Clinton didn't help because he was in the palms of Enron and Mr Lay apparently was contributing in one hand and talking don't help in the other. It is interesting to see a Democrat announcing that he favors polluting the waters with the DDT of modern time which is MTBE. MTBE is the creation of the Democrat administration. Junk science just like global warming with disastrous consequences.

Raymond, Well, it is true that a week before the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles, Davis sent a letter to the President asking for help (I believe he even mentioned gouging from out of state producers). I don't think much came of it. Can you think of anything that President Clinton did to ease the energy crisis in California? Well, I think he did send a grant (around $3M?) to help old people on fixed incomes with their electricity bills in San Diego. Are you referring to the Enron Trans Caspian pipeline project? I doubt that George Bush had anything to do with a jacking natural gas pipeline prices, or CA NOx credits just because the companies are located in Texas (how could he have helped El Paso or Enron rig prices?). To me, that's kind of like blaming Clinton for Iran Contra (and crack cocaine), because the Iran Contra operation was run from Arkansas? I honestly think that Governor Davis really did as good a job as could have been done in the Energy Crisis. And I don't think he is getting the credit that he deserves.
