More Oil
Before I get into that, I have some more information about the tenets of Islam. "Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme." (Koran 8:37) "When the Sacred Months are over, kill those who ascribe partners to God wheresoever ye find them; seize them, encompass them, and ambush them; then if they repent and observe prayer and pay the alms, let them go their way." (Koran 4:5) And finally, "...kill the disbelievers wherever we find them." (Koran 2:191) I got all these from dianedew.com/islam. They all seem pretty explicit. So that's why all the other Muslims aren't severely offended with those who murder in the name of Islam; that's what they're all supposed to be doing! I'm glad not all of them have the guts. Although it would probably make the "War on Terror" easier; it would become an all out war between the western world and Islam.
Now to our title subject, again. I know I shouldn't let myself get drawn in, but...well, they're so stupid! First of all, in today's (Sunday, August 21 2005) Washington Times, Ariel Cohen and William Schirano wrote an editorial advocating an amendment to the Sherman Antitrust Act that would allow private citizens to sue OPEC. They spend a few paragraphs complaining about "OPEC's resistance to add productive capacity". They blame this "resistance" for the current high price of oil. For pete's sake, OPEC isn't "resisting", they have no way to meaningfully and safely increase production; the fields are over-stressed as it is.
In a similar vein, Senator Lindsey Graham (S.C., Rep.), is "worried about the high price of gas", and he wants Congress to investigate what the heck is going on. Senator; go to www.hubbertpeak.com. That's what's going on. He currently blames "increased Chinese demand, reduced OPEC production, and refining problems." (The article, and those quotes, are courtesy of Metro Networks Communications Inc., via MetroSource News service.)
WAKE UP! WE DON'T HAVE UNLIMITED SUPPLIES OF OIL. If you went to the Washington Times website or anything, take a gander at the book section; they review a book by Matthew Simmons that talks about it in a very intelligent manner.
Okay, I'm not gonna talk about oil for a long time now; I'm not adding any new thoughts.
