I consider reading Joe a rare pleasure.<br /><br />Jazz - all I can offer is that I write essays: more than a few facts/concepts are embraced within a larger argument and sometimes I even add humorous asides at the end. Sorry it runs too long for your enjoyment. Some readers take it in gulps and come back to gulp some more. Others seem to enjoy my arguments and leave thrilling comments. I hope you continue to read whenever you have time.<br /><br /> Oh, and if you think new energy deposits are being found all the time and we have plenty of time to grow out of this nasty habit, I'm sure you must be thrilled with all the offshore drilling being approved now and touted by Obama. I can't wait until Alaska is drowning in oil derricks myself (and the coast of North and South Carolina, which are already ruined and unrecognizable to me from earlier years).(Snark off.)<br /><br />And if you read me much you know I hardly need a lecture about where Obama is on the political scale. I hate what he did the first months after his election: selection of Geithner and Summers to continue the financial scams; continuation of most of Dumbya's military/torture policies; increasing the vehemence of the drone attacks on the civilian populations of both Afghanistan and Pakistan in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions; backing off of any pro-abortion/population control policies (although he is good around the periphery). . . .<br /><br />This isn't why I supported him and urged others to as well.<br /><br />And if Obama is attacked by anyone during his Presidency I will not be looking to unassisted right-wing crazies. Oswald; Sirhan Sirhan; and James Earl Ray were hardly right-wingers out for a lark.<br /><br />Love you guys,<br /><br />S<br /><br /><i>there is ample evidence that conspiracies have occurred in every presidential assassination and attempt.

America is so driven.<br /><br />But living in SE MI has made me alert to the possibilities of militias, like-minded independent actors and small scale conspiracies. <br /><br />OK.

I would say that presidential assassinations are done by quite sane, but evil shadow folk with a Patsy diversion.<br /><br />I have no problem that you are anti-gun. You should have no problem that it might be me (or a gun owner) that protects you when the shit hits the fan and you can't protect yourself.<br /><br />BTW, Suzan, I have been reading over at Joe's and I like everything I've read.

Probabi...OK.

Crazies might shoot me for dissing Rush, Jeebus or the Prophet Mohammed.<br /><br />I predict B.

I'd recommend one topic at a time, unless they dovetail to make a specific point. That would help readers with short attention spans - like Me.<br /><br />The peak oil idea has been around for a long time. I think the original estimate was that we would pass the peak in 1957. And remember - it's all based on estimates.<br /><br />At least a recently as a couple of years ago, new reserve discoveries were greater than annual oil consumption, so known reserves were increasing, not decreasing. And known reserves dramatically understate actual global crude content.<br /><br />Here is a contrary view<br /><br />http://www.radford.edu/wkovarik/oil/<br /><br />Of course, none of this takes into account the oil that ends up fouling shrimp habitat or greasing egrets.<br /><br />Re: Obama - the liberal/socialist claims vividly illustrate the delusion of the right. Barack Hoover Obama is to the right of Clinton, and he was to the right of Eisenhower, at least on economic issues. In foreign policy, there is little difference between BHO and gWb.<br /><br />But that BHO grave marker scares me. All the guns are in the hands of the crazies.<br /><br />WASF<br />JzBJazzbumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337490817307473659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-79186169260308779372010-04-27T06:44:04.583-04:002010-04-27T06:44:04.583-04:00Joe's piece really struck home with me and mim...Joe's piece really struck home with me and mimics a lot of what I have been preaching to the choir for a very long time.
