I'm not sure but I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you probably haven't been following the $/barrel thing here in the US, but if you had then you probably wouldn't have been limber enough to shove your foot into your mouth as far as you just did. I wonder what you would have done if you lived in the US to prevent something like "invading a country on some pretext like WMDs." I'll bet your picket sign you held out protesting the war would have been huge and that you would have made a lot of friends who also didn't have a job (while picketing) and who "got by" on their welfare checks that they got from the government. Just like you. What island do you live on again that has internet access? I'm gonna move there and kick you off of it. |

You miss the implication entirely. What I was getting at is, through technology, reduce the demand for oil such that the prices drop so much as to remove money from the equation entirely. I don't want "their" oil. "They can have it, for all the good it'll do "them" when demand drops, causing prices to drop, causing all manner of problems for "them." BTW, I don't know who "they" are. I was referencing how some in the middle east funnel large chunks of change to terrorists, financing the efforts of mentally challenged individuals who see nothing wrong with blowing up a bus load of Londoners intent on just getting to work in the morning. -- John Willis (Remove the Primes before e-mailing me) |

Anywho, most of our oil comes from Canada. Let's invade! Moose-Drool beer, free! Wait... maybe we otta stop sending our Alaska pipeline oil to Japan. So many choices... |

Let the price of oil rise to it's natural level (explained below) and the demand will go down. People will still have their private vehicles, but they will be more like the rest of the world: cost effective. Public transporation will become reasonable and humane. Trucking will adjust, and get government breaks. No worries. We pay 'protection money' for that mideast oil. We don't see the cost at the pumps.We see it in our inflated government taxations. That's another thing we need to fix. |

Besides, Iraq's piddling dribble of oil won't help our situation one bit, and OPEC sets the price, and OPEC is just plain ****ed off at the USA. We're losers no matter how you look at it. Thank Bush! |
