Everytime I read something like this I want to grab the author by the gonads and shake. Look. Germany, one of the larger countries in Europe, is about the same size as one of our smaller states, Wisconsin. So quit with the phony BS.
If we let OPEC destroy our country we will have got what we deserved. It is time to dump Bush and elect McCain. We also need to start understanding that electric powered cars aren't the solution. Can you imagine the "snap crack and pop" when 15 million cars are plugged into the power grid in LA at 7PM?? Can you say, "Overload boys and girls??"
His latest prediction of $200 oil is open to question, since it would undoubtedly create considerable global economic distress.
