Analysts' Oil Forecasts Wildly Off Base

edward orton - what qualifications does he have to make this statement ?

At least as much qualification as Al Gore has to say that the world will end in just a few years unless we (except himself and other uber Liberals of course) abandon fossil fuel consumption.

Regarding redistribution of wealth:
I think most people are OK with some redistribution of wealth. We have to pay for common goods and services such as police, fire, defense, infrastructure. What bothers me is redistribution just because I have more of than someone else, particularly when that somone else will do nothing for themselves. We have in this country a culture that is radically dependant upon government mandated transfers to themselves. They refuse to do anything to help themselves. We saw evidence of this in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. While residents of MS and AL united to rebuild their communities, some residents of NOLA wanted to know what the government was going to do for them. Then, you have the redistribution of wealth that benefits illegal aliens at the expense of tax-payers, and this is going on while the recipients of Congressional generosity insult, defame, and plot crimes against the same source of that largese - the American Union and it's citizenry.

And yet, a growing number of real scientists are dismissing the global warming hoax as just that, a hoax. I'm all for conservation. But the Man Is Evil crowd needs to realize that whatever C02 man does emit via the internal combustion engine is nothing compared to the levels produced by volcanic activity. FOX, President Bush, and Vice President Cheney have it right. Al Gore has it wrong. Not only does he have it wrong, he's also a hypocrite. What's with the buzz about conserving and global warming when his own house could light up half of Nashville? He's not even at home to see it lit up because he's buzzing around in his jet creating C02 in the atmosphere, buring millions of gallons of jet fuel. To be consistent, he and the rest of the watermelons (green on the outside, red (socialist) on the inside) should 1) attach solar panels to the roofs of your houses, in your front yards, windmills in the back yard, ride a bicycle to work, and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
