seized as an opportunity for what? We haven't taken control of a single foreign oil field!

Unfortunately, we will have to wait until the next life to have this freedom. I love you Human Race. I love you spiritual men and women of God. Preach the word of Jesus Christ. It says in the Word of God(THE BIBLE) that if you can't believe in that HE IS THE SON OF GOD at least believe his miracles that he wants us to be happy with no more tears. SEEK THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. PREACH HIS WORD.Don't fear this world but Love the Lord your God with all your heart mind soul and strength.

That are in our Governments. Im sorry the rest of the world that "We The People" did not protect you. Seek The Lord Jesus Christ. Lucifer working through the United States of America as well as anyone else willing to finish the World is workin hard to destroy LOVE. I love you Human Race and anyone who believes thay STILL have a SPIRIT. Some are convinced that they are flesh and nothing more. I'm sorry you are lied to and belive that. Jesus wants us to love eachother and be together.

This is another video for us all to fear so that we are in terror and not in realization that we need to go Solar. Solar panel on our roofs and into our garages to our cars. Don't be afraid that oil will disappear... It won't. Its to have all other countries to be in fear and buy as much oil as they can to make our (the poor U.S.) to lower our strengths to fight our own enemies.

I don't necessarily buy all of the 9/11 conspiracy theories out there, but neither do I rule them out. In the absence of absolute concrete evidence of conspiracy (left-wing blogs and "news" sites don't count - I weigh them, but they have an agenda as well), I will say that from a standpoint of preserving American dominance, controlling the fields would be a smart move. I doubt 9/11 was engineered, but I think was seized as an opportunity for sure.

The problem with this issue is the same problem we have with global warming. There is enough evidence to give some credence to either side of the issue, but not enough to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt the veracity of one side or the other. Add to that the fact that there are strong economic and political interests in both sides of both issues, and it comes as no surprise that this is such a bitter item of debate.

* adopting the 1974 mandate for 55 mph (90 kph) speed limits on the interstates, which would reduce energy consumption more than the daily flow through the Alaska Pipeline

LOL sure sure. You need to read up.

That is partially true, but the fact is we are running out of easily accessible oil. I have no doubt that there is a virtually limitless supply scattered throughout the earth - the issue is the amount of expenditure required to access it, and eventually, any new fields will begin to taper off amid increasing demand. True, drilling those restricted areas would help somewhat though, at least in the meanwhile.

That may be, but they still need to be clothed, fed, and have access to health services. And cramming that many people together in such a small space would create hellish living conditions. I strongly maintain that there are few major global problems today that could not be alleviated with a drastic reduction in the world's population.
