I grew up in the oil patch, dad made it high enough up the ladder as a geologist that I could see into the character of the industry, and I can tell you straight, that it's the last place you're gonna find that den of thieves and swindlers that your friendly local Democrat so loves to demagogue. The Dems would just prefer that, if the government can't own the industry, then it shouldn't exist, and we should all just freeze in the dark to show them right-wingers a thing or two. As with the war, the Dems are the persistant "K" factor, the friction that must be overcome to convert energy into motion, or necessity into policy.buddy larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760847873026506988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1132513642186561472005-11-20T12:07:00.000-07:002005-11-20T12:07:00.000-07:00Seneca:There you go again, complicating things wit...Seneca:<BR/><BR/>There you go again, complicating things with fact and logic.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how the students did on the exam?terryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609746018265953069noreply@blogger.com
