here's some questions for today's gaggle about gas prices:
shouldn't the fat disgusting ceo of exxon be paid a few shillings less this year so some kid in Trenton can maybe make it down to the seashore once this summer?which of the four points amounts to anything greater than lip service? isn't the cat already out of the oil bag? and by invading the middle east and threatening iran, hasn't bush assured this? wasn't this the motive for 9/11 all along, whether bush knew about it or not? haven't the oil companies, arguably the most powerful economic force in the world, the most to gain from war and the aftermath of terrorist attacks? does't it make sense to invest the leadership of the nation in a different political block, considering that concentration of economic power in the oil companies and the military indutrial complex? isn't that a more reasonable approach to separating power for the sake of limiting it's most harsh consequenmces on all of humanity, you fucking dickhead?
maybe wait for scottie's replacement to ask these. ok? is that this week? bloated piece of shit.

What!? And interfere with the almighty invisible hand of the market? Are you off your rocker?

Y'know, I marched against Gulf War I (1990-91). The thing about that war that really stuck in my craw was Bush the Elder's repeated assertion that "this isn't about oil".
Of course it was. Bush41 later admitted that.
And of course *this* war is about oil (although I think individual motives are mixed).
Fine.
I'm not naive nor am I stupid. Oil is essential to our, and the world's, economy. Sad but true.
If Our Glorious Leader™ had come out and said, "We need oil to survive so we have to secure that oil" I would have acknowledged the argument. I still would have opposed this war but I would have conceded the honesty.
Other justifictions for the war, however, are pure horseshit.
