Great post from JP

<font size=4><font color=888888>Imagine you and I are in a physical struggle during which I draw several guns against you and begin to fire. I miss with each gun, but the effectiveness of my weapons is still quite obvious. You and many of your friends, in return, draw more modern, more effective weapons against me, commanding me to agree to hand over my guns “or else.” I agree to hand over the guns, but refuse to do it. Some sodomite friends of yours also command that I give up the weapons. I refuse and so the sodomites suggest that simply shunning me will force me to give up the guns. In the meantime, I threaten to murder your father and you know that, given the chance, I would murder you and everyone near you. You continually receive hints that I still have my weapons and that I am even building or have plans to build more of the same. Then suddenly someone who looks like and thinks like me murders dozens of your family as I continue to refuse to give up my weapons. You receive reports that I still have the weapons and have even made more of them. You command me again to give up the guns, but I refuse. You command, I refuse. You then draw your weapon and make the command, then I claim I have no guns. You believe me because you are a friggin’ idiot.

Dave, Not that it makes much difference, but the dollar was worth a lot more then. Even so, 25 cents a gallon was a joy we may never see again.

It looks like petroleum is going to cause the world to blow up someday in the fight for possession of it.
