Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Call John Flicker at the Audubon Society at (212) 979-3000.

Call Frances Beinecke at the NRDC at (212) 727-2700.

Call Trip Van Noppen at Earthjustice at (510) 550-6700.

One more thing. I wrote earlier that the environmental extremists hate humanity, they think there are too many of us, and they won't be happy until an awful lot of us are gone.

Most won't say it, but here's what two of them are quoted as saying in Johah Goldberg's book "Liberal Fascism." "When Charles Wurster, chief scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund was told that banning DDT would probably result in millions of deaths he replied 'This is as good a way to get rid of them as any." And a million did die.

Finnish environmental guru Pentti Linkola "argues that the earth is a sinking ship, and a chosen remnant must head for the lifeboats. Said Linkola, 'Those who hate life try to pull more people on board and drown everybody. Those who love and respect life use axes to chops off extra hands hanging on the gunwale.'"

Beware of environmentalists bearing axes.

Refining capacity is the "villan"
It isn't the price of oil. It isn't the devaluation of our currency--although that's not helping. It is the refining capacity of our country that is causing the high prices at the pump. We get plenty of oil but the bottleneck is in refining and the oil companies have (purposely?) failed to maintain their refineries so that at any given time there are refineries that are not in operation. That naturally leads to less refining capacity putting less gas on the market. As demand rises during heavy travel seasons the price goes up.

It IS an issue of supply and demand, but not the way most people think. The oil supply is there--the refined fuel capacity is not.

It isn't hard to correlate the price of gas with the record profits of the oil industry during the Shrub's regime. Knowing that a Democratic administration will likely halt the gravy train for big oil, they are going to continue to gouge the American people and get all they can before Bush leaves office.

Afterthought: Anyone ever think of designing a vehicle that runs on unrefined oil?
