Pointing out that not subsidizing something is not the same as obstructing it, isn't opposing subsidies. Opposing subsidies isn't "ensuring that the US is forever dependent on oil from terrorist countries" or arguing that it should be. Arguing that it should be, would not be opposing the idea of unbiased discussion, but would be part of that discussion. So your whole post is a series of unsupported and unreasonable leaps, rather than a statement that is actually relevant to what he posted.

I guess this thread isn't really for an unbiased discussion of the "Politics of Energy", Anything to do with politics is bound to be "biased", by definition. You're biased, so am I, that's just the way it is. Unless, of course, you view it as "my way or the highway", where your views are the "truth" and any others are "biased".. Congratulations. You run a great and unbiased thread. Not. Lighten up a bit. My "obstruction" post that you responded to was obviously done with a touch of humor. Didn't you catch the smiley? Also, I started this thread but certainly don't "run" it. A "free for all" is much more instructive and entertaining than a "love in", where those posting opposing points of view get summarily booted. The only reason that this thread is moderated is to ensure that really nasty name calling can be thwarted if necessary. If you look at my profile, you'll see that I've banned no one from any board that I've started..
