The cost of getting out of the ground and to the consumer, plus the cost of dealing with all the sustainability and environmental issues related to its use. Cost is same as value. And the current price is less than its value OOPS! My point was Cost is NOT the same as value.

And the guy who speaks out against non-Muslims.

Ever heard of John Maynard Keynes?

I think a lot of the criticism for NO came from the aftermath. The looting, the stories from the Superdome, the stories about hospitals being attacked. Granted there were some gross exaggerations being reported in the weeks after Katrina, but the confirmed stories tell a pretty horrific tale. Coincidentally, almost all of the reported perpetrators of these crimes were black. While this does say who was doing what in the aftermath of Katrina, it really doesn't say anything about anyone else, regardless of what people on both sides of the story want you to believe.

According to who? What is its true value?

This situation is fucked up five ways from Sunday. First off, the leases should have included terms that set royalties at a base rate plus a percentage of market wholesale price. Big fuck up. This is what needs to be remedied. Secondly, the federal subsidies oil companies recieve should be tied to market conditions. When crude was under $11.00 and drilling was economically unfeasible, they made sense. For the oil companies to have recieved them for the past few years is obscene. Subsidies should be contingent based, not fixed. Lastly, this "conservation fee" is a bunch of non-sense. It's a tax, plain and simple. Can you guess who will end up paying for that tax?

I think it's about who you've presented yourself as, in this forum. All in all, this is a harmless amusing piece, but how some people take these things may be influenced by who is delivering it. It provides context and tone. Kind of like telling jokes about black people. If it's a black comedian, it's funny. He's basically making fun of himself. But if a white comedian tells the same joke, he's branded a racist. You post isn't nearly as extreme as the example above, but it's along the same lines.

Perhaps the reason got lost in translation.

The POOR ones, silly.

Sum is more dumber than otherz.

Elaborate. The entitlement mindset among certain groups of welfare recipients is a product of their environment.

And Darwinians share 75% of their genes with pumpkins. That was Mockingbird's claim. Did you check it or are you just drawing a conclusion? Did you take her claim as a serious one?

Definitely a cultural issue.

Or making claims about the government strong-arming national newspapers... or about hundreds of thousands of unemployed as a result of law changes. Happy Friday.

That Lawrocket Smarter 'n a tree full of owls. He's a hoot.

When were the gospels written and by whom? Manuscript evidence for superior New Testament reliability Can we trust the New Testament as a historical document? And Alexander the Great thought he was a direct descendant of Zeus by the same criteria. Fixed it for you.

Does any of this disprove the assertion "There are more people on welfare in the cities than in the countryside."? I looked at those links and didn't see any relevant comparisons of the two groups.

I wonder if military spending has anything to do with that. Whoa there nellie. Your whole arguement is built on an unproven premise.

So, what you're saying is someone intentionally researching the Fed will probably encounter a lot of misinformation... that it's pretty hard to get the "real story".... and still you feel perfectly justified in smugly demeaning someone who asks about it here. How ironic.

Don't forget about M-3

You mean the ones who view it as 'well, golly gee, they were both fives'?

Portugal is a country? It's not just a territory of Spain? You know... like Guam is to the United States?

You realize that the same sort of thing has happened in every single war starting with the Civil War. I'm not saying I agree with it, but its not isolated to this war, this administration or this day and age. Its been an on going problem for a LONG time. Admittedly, my knowledge on this is limited. That said, it seems like the need for equipment support and our ability to provide it (by whatever means necessary) have played a distinct second fiddle to who gets which military contract. I mean we regularly hear about soldiers not getting body armor and vets failing to get medical and financial aid after they return home. Are these problems merely manifestations of the "information age", where molehills do take on mountainous proportions? Or are areas where our troups are getting short shrift as bad as they seem? Considering how much money is being spent on this effort, I see no reason why our troups shouldn't be fully outfitted with the appropriate equipment. And no vet that served in Iraq or Afghanistan should be denied VA benefits.
