figures you would talk about reality as if it were a young child's nursery rhyme. you live in a cloud, probably cloaked in ivory that has suffocated the oxygen to your brain.

fair enough, however, to tap our own resources would also benefit you and I. if the world market comes close to crumbling and the US is sitting on resources that we could have, but the liberal enviros won't let us, you think that will be a stable situation? no, i think it will be war. i think the oil owners know this and know it well. do you really think that places such as Saudi Arabia or Venichugochavez see the environmentals as a "benign" entity when it comes to the US "saving" it's oil?
do you?

there are 68 million acres where drilling and exploration could be going on now, but if the market price is this then this we pay. The companies know that and we buy the stuff, they make gazillions and some Americans suffer, but drilling is irrelevant. Oil needs competition and we need to cut back, end of story

how is this a red herring? it is not. it could be, will you allow it? do you promote that we drill this? of course the "companies" know this, why do you think they want to open drilling. because they make money, we suffer? utter bullshit and a red herring. your last sentence proves what an idiot you are:
oil needs competition and we need to cut back, END OF STORY
really.....
