Meaning, lets keep the oil cartel in business digging out the last bits of oil and worry about the future till 2012.

I just find that horribly irresponsible. Not only that, it is counter to the basis of cannabis culture. Hemp is cannabis and the oil it contains is not only high in protein but until the oil cartel made it illegal was the number one lube oil in the world and along with alcohol and was first choice of fuel driven engines. The point I made was that Henry Ford, the Nazi bigot, was making cars from it and fueling them in 1941. Did you get that point? That it WAS the number one until the oil cartel made it illegal. Now, you want to continue allowing the fraud to go on, promoting oil when it sucks, it will soon be gone and you want to wait until it IS gone before you think anything new. Like the idiots on Easter Island cutting the last tree down. Using hemp for fuel vs. oil, do you get the idea how much less dirt would be around? Did you ever give a moment thought why the corporate United States would make a plants INDUSTRIAL use illegal??? Just one good reason why industrial use was cut? How about 80 billion dollars to IE Dupont for rope alone?

That flag you wave was made from hemp originally. Did you know it is the war flag? Do you know what the American Civil flag looks like? Did you know the red white blue and gold flag is not American? I give civic lessons you know.

Have a nice day
Howdy Art,

The point that I think you missed was,that the current reality is what it is..just because we both know that hemp would be much better and would actually improve the health of the planet,doesn't make it realistic to assume that the current infrastructure of the oil industry would be changed overnight.

Alternative fuels are slowly making headway into the infrastructure,like LPG and biomass fuels,but it will be sometime before they achieve dominance,if ever. My interest in increasing refining capacity and opening up new fields,is for national security and economic concerns.

If you teach civics,then most likely,the last thing on yer mind--is national security..and you probably loathe the military and the right to keep and bear arms,as well.

As for the flags that you speak of,do ya have a sample ? I ain't never heard of the flag being called the war flag..sounds like a way for y'all liberals to make America out to be a war-like and militaristic country. I was taught American history and civics,by an old-fashioned gal who loved her country with all of her heart and didn't engage in pc'ism..like the current crop of liberal teachers do..my teacher actually wanted us to love our country and what it stood for and we left class,feeling good about our country,it's ideals and hard-fought freedoms. Whereas todays liberal teachers,most likely leave their students feeling bad about America and themselves,and leave their students in a state of confusion.

My family has a long history of teachers,my mother is currently gittin her master's degree to teach,my grandparents and great-grand parents,were all teachers and instrumental in helping to formulating and setting up several schools and 2 colleges,here in Texas. They all believed in the goodness of America and inspired their students to make America better,rather than leave them feeling ashamed and confused,like many liberal teachers do today in our schools.

Which kind of teacher are you ? Do you inspire or do you teach shame and guilt ?

Have a good one ....
