My write-up about todays economy

[Mr. Clandestine]

Then there are the northern slope fields that the tree huggers have their panties in a wad over, yet they still drive their SUVs.

Those are exactly the "whiners" I was referring to, and you summed up a nice part of their hypocrisy perfectly. There's no reason we shouldn't be tapping into those reserves, as well as building the much needed off-shore rigs in the Gulf and elsewhere. If we're not going to get weaned off oil coming from the Middle East, then we should be focusing on the barrels that are right in our back yard. I find it amazing that so many can get all riled up over the price of gas, but scoff at the idea of trading the SUVs in for more economical vehicles. I used to drive a Yukon, until the price to fuel it up every month started to resemble my house note.

I dunno...the solutions are out there, and have been for many years...the only thing thats stopping it, is the oil companies greed.

Very nicely worded, and painfully true.
