As long as you're remembering things, remember to respond to the inarguably
perfect reason I gave you for your president's direct connection to oil
prices.

I agree.

And what exactly did Bush have to do with this?


Well....if you're over the age of maybe 18, you may have noticed that
prices
of most, if not all investments are subject to the mood of the
investors.

JimH isn't anywhere near 18 mentally. Just look at his childish posts.


Another insult.


Yes. If I keep insulting you, I may possibly get equal to the amount of
**** you've slung my way. Grow up.



Is this all you are capable of posting?



No. But, alas, you asked a specific question about why someone would
think it's Bush's fault for the oil prices, I posted a very valid
reason, and I get no response.


Valid reason? Bzzzzzzzzz....wrong. That cut an paste of yours deserved
no response. But if you care to believe it, more power to you Kevin.


Why? Because I'm right, and you're like
a little kid taking your ball home. Grow up.

I'm not Kevin, and if I'm an idiot, it certainly makes you much, much
worse. Now, you've chastised me here for insulting people. But, I
never, ever said that I would refrain from such. YOU DID. I guess it
was just another of your hundreds of lies here, huh?
Now, as long as you keep calling me Kevin, I'll ask: will you be man
enough to apologize when I prove I'm not Kevin? Now, before you show
your stupidity, I've been emailing Clams. We're going to try to meet up
in a couple of weeks. Well, are you at least man enough to answer?
Nah....I doubt it.

Will you be man enough to apologize when you find that out?
I'll bet not. You aren't man enough to keep your word, or man enough to
do anything but lie, deceive, and alter what people have posted.

JohnH,

It is funny that Kevin thinks someone showing Clams an ID showing that the
person with the ID is not Kevin Noble is proof that Basskisser is not Kevin
Noble.

Basskisser has been sending me email asking me to meet up with Clams and
show him my ID. ; )

The solution is simple: Kevin should ask Harry to take him for a ride on the 36'
Lobsta boat. Then Harry could check Kevin's birth certificate, driver's license,
college diplomas (all of them), and any mug shots that may exist. Then Kevin
could voutch for Harry's boat, and Harry could voutch for Kevin's lack of
authenticity.

Add an independent third party to monitor it and that would indeed solve all
the mysteries of rec.boats. Are you available John?

Let's review this as it has possibilities. Harry is good buds with Kevin
and I am sure he would love to show off his custom made 32 foot lobster boat
as well as the new asphalt on his long driveway.

Kevin and family are most likely itching for a nice vacation.....he is
making good bucks on an engineers salary and can easily afford even a
weekend vacation in Boston with his family....not a bad place to vacation.
I am sure he can hook up with some $99 round trip tickets. Heck, Krause
may even put them up for a couple of nights in his rural mansion reducing
the cost of this vacation for Kevin even more. And with all the fish Krause
catches a fish fry party would certainly be in order.

It makes sense but it will never happen. Trust me on this. The reasons are
obvious. ;-)

We had a great day boating today, Herring, but we didn't see you out on
the water. We even popped into Deale for lunch.

Beautiful weather, too. Will probably be out again Sunday. It's great to
have reliable boats.


Harry, Harry, Harry...

If you've been following along, you'll know I spent the day on the water
yesterday! I very seldom go out two days in a row - too many other commitments.

We did catch a mess of perch yesterday, but not nearly as nice as the fish you
caught today!

Gosh, all the way from Solomons to Deale for lunch. Wow!

Here you go Jim:
Don't Blame OPEC; Higher Gas Prices Are Almost Entirely Bush's Fault
Dave Lindorff, ILCA Associate Member

What is making oil so expensive is not energy policy or even SUV's,
dangerous as those are for the environment. It's Bush's massive
deficits and his willful destruction of the US dollar that has gas
selling at $2.30 a gallon and rising.


There's been a lot of hand-wringing going on among economists and
politicians, and a lot of fuming at the gas pump by consumers over the
soaring price of oil over the last two years.


Increasingly, concern is being expressed by treasury officials and
economists about the negative impact soaring oil prices and related gas

prices could have on the overall economy. Politicians--especially
Republicans--are also fretting, since the thousands of extra dollars
consumers are now spending on electricity, home heating and gasoline
have, for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, more than cancelled out any

minimal benefits they saw from the president's tax cuts.


What's wrong with this picture?


The focus of all this anger and angst is oil prices. As a result,
everyone is looking at culprits in the wrong place, blaming wasteful
energy use, OPEC production quotas, monopolistic oil companies and/or
conniving oil traders.


In fact the real culprit behind these higher oil prices is the Bush
Administration, which, thanks to its massive deficits and tax
give-aways to the rich and corporations, to its war spending, and to
its failure to combat unprecedented and ever-larger trade deficits, has

been causing the dollar to plunge in value.


Oil is a commodity and it is priced in dollars. If dollars decline in
value, then the price of oil will rise in inverse proportion.




Man, this gets old.

did you ever consider supply and demand? or would that get in your way.

Like T. Boone Pickens (oil tycoon) said: : When you need 36 mil.
Barrel of crude to run a country, and can only get 34 Mil barrel, what
does that do to pricing?

I know, I know. That doesn't fit any kind of political logic. because
it is one of a few circumstances of reasoning. I know, know...it's so
much easier (and to some its much more fun) to bash Bush........ that
little meanie.....LOL

than increased demand (from countries like China), and instability in the
oil producing countries?

I agree.


And what exactly did Bush have to do with this?



Here you go Jim:
Don't Blame OPEC; Higher Gas Prices Are Almost Entirely Bush's Fault
Dave Lindorff, ILCA Associate Member

What is making oil so expensive is not energy policy or even SUV's,
dangerous as those are for the environment. It's Bush's massive
deficits and his willful destruction of the US dollar that has gas
selling at $2.30 a gallon and rising.


There's been a lot of hand-wringing going on among economists and
politicians, and a lot of fuming at the gas pump by consumers over

the
soaring price of oil over the last two years.


Increasingly, concern is being expressed by treasury officials and
economists about the negative impact soaring oil prices and related

gas

prices could have on the overall economy. Politicians--especially
Republicans--are also fretting, since the thousands of extra dollars
consumers are now spending on electricity, home heating and gasoline
have, for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, more than cancelled out

any

minimal benefits they saw from the president's tax cuts.


What's wrong with this picture?


The focus of all this anger and angst is oil prices. As a result,
everyone is looking at culprits in the wrong place, blaming wasteful
energy use, OPEC production quotas, monopolistic oil companies

and/or
conniving oil traders.


In fact the real culprit behind these higher oil prices is the Bush
Administration, which, thanks to its massive deficits and tax
give-aways to the rich and corporations, to its war spending, and to
its failure to combat unprecedented and ever-larger trade deficits,

has

been causing the dollar to plunge in value.


Oil is a commodity and it is priced in dollars. If dollars decline

in
value, then the price of oil will rise in inverse proportion.




Man, this gets old.

did you ever consider supply and demand? or would that get in your

way.

Like T. Boone Pickens (oil tycoon) said: : When you need 36 mil.
Barrel of crude to run a country, and can only get 34 Mil barrel,

what
does that do to pricing?

I know, I know. That doesn't fit any kind of political logic.

because
it is one of a few circumstances of reasoning. I know, know...it's

so
much easier (and to some its much more fun) to bash Bush........

that
little meanie.....LOL


And if it is the declining value of the dollar.....why have gas prices
risen when the dollar has gained in the last view weeks.........damn

facts
always get in the way of the liebrals.


Sheesh. I haven't been following this thread, but is someone stupid

enough
to suggest that a weak dollar is responsible for high oil

prices...rather
than increased demand (from countries like China), and instability in

the
oil producing countries?


Yep.......kevin places the blame on the "massive" bush tax cuts. LMAO

The fact of the matter is that while supply has remained relatively even,
while the demand has increased rapidly. On top of that, there have been no
additional refineries built in the US, which further strains supply on the
consumer end......especially when the EPA demands countless formulas across
the country, further reducing the economies of scale in refining.

Making fun of a spelling error Kevin? Is this the standard we should

hold

I have read your 20 or so contributions you posted here this morning and
most involved putting people down, name calling and generally fighting

with
folks. You also started an OT thread and used the words "republican

pigs"
in the title. Why the inflammatory words and what did that post have to

do
with boating (claims you made against others this week)?

Live by the standards *you* set Kevin and perhaps folks here will start

to
respect you.


It is pretty funny seeing our "King of the NG idiots" toss a spell flame
when he has yet to master the difference between 'your' and 'you're'

And then there was 'slander' and 'libel' that he took the bitch slapping
over.............. LMAO

Harry found a cut'n'paste in which he firmly believes (else he wouldn't post it,

could voutch for Harry's boat, and Harry could voutch for Kevin's lack of

We had a great day boating today, Herring, but we didn't see you out on
the water. We even popped into Deale for lunch.

Beautiful weather, too. Will probably be out again Sunday. It's great to
have reliable boats.



Harry, Harry, Harry...

If you've been following along, you'll know I spent the day on the water
yesterday! I very seldom go out two days in a row - too many other commitments.

We did catch a mess of perch yesterday, but not nearly as nice as the fish you
caught today!

Gosh, all the way from Solomons to Deale for lunch. Wow!



You need to work on your habit of jumping to conclusions. Never said a
word about fishing or about a starting off point.


Is it true that leaving a boat on a trailer will improve it's reliability? I've
also heard that a mythical boat has 100% reliability. Is that true?

Was the Deale water taxi in operation Saturday?

There is not one example in the history of rec.boats that would

Yeah......the evil bush tax cuts caused oil prices to rise.....LMAO


If this country became a war zone like Iraq, and a black market developed
for certain goods, do you think those things would be MORE expensive, or
LESS expensive than before the war?


That would depend on the demand and the supply. If the demand greatly
increased,
but the supply remained decreased or remained constant, then most likely
the
goods would be more expensive.

Let's assume that it's something people normally want ALL the time, John.
Coffee, shoes, whatever. Don't hand me junior high school economic theories.

Well, if we assume the demand hasn't changed, and the supply has diminished,
then prices will go up.

In the case of oil, the demand has greatly increased over the past several years
(almost as bad as outsourcing!).

The junior high economic theories are, at least, rational.

Black markets tend to develop when guvmints interfer with supply and
demand.....


A black market is just one example of an adjustment made in response to

an
unstable environment. War is another example of an unstable environment,

and
both have an effect on prices. Ask anyone who was an adult during the

2nd
world war.

In what way did they affect prices?


Once again........he fails to get it.....it has nothing to do with
"unstability" it has everything to do with supply and demand.

A black market is basic economic reaction to a guvmint restricting
supply.........the price on the "black market" is simply a reflection of the
ability of suppliers to meet the demand.......based on the risk involved.

War creates a higher demand, and often has a reduced supply because of
damage to production facilities.

The current Iraq conflict is not the reason demand has escalated, nor has
there been a major disruption in supply.

Simple version: In response to shortages, the prices of such things as raw
metal products and coffee increased. Now, the price of oil is increasing due
to PERCEIVED stressors on the market. I say "perceived" because there is NO
supply shortage, and the mythical demand you like to talk about is not
enough to explain the drastic price increases over the past couple of years.

The government is not restricting the oil supply at the moment, and neither
are the Saudis. There is no black market for oil in THIS country.



War creates a higher demand, and often has a reduced supply because of
damage to production facilities.


"Demand" means the desire of consumers to use more of a product. Other than
the presence of lots of fuel guzzling military vehicles, please explain
WHERE you believe the excess demand is coming from, and why.



The current Iraq conflict is not the reason demand has escalated, nor has
there been a major disruption in supply.


Again, specifically WHERE do you see increased demand? Name countries and
finished oil products in your explanation.
