Noteworthy is that we passed the $2.70 per gallon barrier earlier this

A smart society or government would consider adopting a program of

a
miracle of some sort to convince our government to act. And of course
we
face the constant barrage of lobbying and disinformation by Big Oil.

talks, logic walks.

A bit over a year ago I went to the MD with a sore throat that turned out
to be
cancer, but the MD screwed around trying to lower my blood pressure until
his
medicines gave me heart trouble. By the time I quit taking his
prescriptions
and got a different MD a few month later I only had a 1 in 5 chance of
survival.

Fretting over oil and ethanol is like worrying over minor hypertension
while
your patient dies of cancer. Our cancer is overpopulation. Cure it and all
our
other problems become manageable. Ignore it and we face a global Easter
Island
disaster whether we switch to ethanol or not.


AMEN!
