>>I get the impression that the answer to everything in the USA is the same as the answer to everything in NZ = "NO!"<< I don't think the USA is quite as bad as NZ. And that lock-up may produce a huge windfall for Chevron. It's a LOT more fun to sell oil at $250/barrel than $25/barrel! ;>)

youtube.com "A mystic code of morality demanding self-sacrifice cannot be promulgated or propagated without a supreme ruler that becomes the collector of the sacrificing. Traditionally, there have been two such collectors: either God or society. The collector had to be inaccessible to mankind at large, and his authority had to be revealed only through an elite of special intermediaries, variously called "high priests", "commissars," "Gauleiters," etc. Mr. Skinner follows the same pattern, but he has a new collector and supreme ruler to hoist: the culture." evans-experientialism.freewebspace.com
