Stripped of the American hype of the 1990s, the crude that began a very modest flow this morning is the first instalment of a reserve many analysts are now convinced is actually only 32 billion barrels - equivalent to that of a small Gulf player such as Qatar.

I wholly unsupport the idea of paying money to a foreign country just for energy. Why pay shitloads of money to greedy terrorist-supporting punks when we could instead pay that same money for a pipeline from Alaska.

That, and we could also spend that same money on research for alternate (eg, CLEAN) fuels.

Sure, not *all* of the middle easterns are greedy terrorist-supporting bastages... but it sure seems that way, especially when you're paying $2.50 for gas in one state and $4 in another state, both well over the prices of only a few years ago. I remember not long ago paying less than a dollar for a gallon, and still screaming out because it was so expensive. Not to mention that we're still getting shot at in a war that's over. Were we still being shot at by Germans OR Japanese when we ended World War II?

Now they're pulling every little penny out of you. Not everyone can afford it, but they must be able to get to their jobs. So what's the first to be given into to pay for it? Well, looks like we're not going to be able to take the whole family to grandma's funeral, kids. Well, looks like we're not going to be able to pay for scout/girl camp this year, kids. Well, looks like we're not going to be able to pay for your high speed internet connection this month. And we could always tighten our belts a little, as far as food is concerned.

Yeah... did I mention I passionately dislike the oil crisis? It's reasons like this that I try to stay out of politics; these things go hand-in-hand and almost never turn out the way you want them unless you're on *their* side.
