paul,
that flyer was a bit disingenuous.
to think that oil wasn't a factor in invading iraq is
pretty naive mate. maybe oil and gas weren't factors
in invading afghanistan either? hee hee
read the financial papers: they are usually quite
candid about the real motives.
this brings me to another point. there IS a morality
(a very short-sighted morality) to these efforts to
grab fuel reserves and control the middle-east in
general. the american way of life would be threatened
without cheap oil. the american way of life IS
threatened because oil is running out. it will be
almost gone within 4 years. what plans are inplace to
cope with this: none that i know off.
we are headed for an inevitable crash that will make
the great depression look like fun, unless we act at
an individual level to reduce our dependence on fossil
fuels and our ridiculous rates of consumption in
general.
cheers
gav
ps oil prices are rising because of the problems in
securing supply in iraq and elsewhere i imagine. opec,
especially in the person of chavez, are no longer
taking shit off the west to the same level as before.
in australia the major proportion of petrol prices is
still tax.
