Well………Can We Or Can’t We?

Just like you have scientists who say there is global warming and those who say contrary-wise, so have we “experts” on oil pumping from OPEC.

We all know gas prices are high and getting higher (although not as high as they were in the late 70s/early 80s when adjusted for inflation and wages.)

For most of us the solution is simple:  PUMP MORE!!!

But an OPEC official says we are at max pumping capacity.

On the other hand, there are those who say OPEC can pump 2 MBPD more.

Hell, at $55 a barrel, I’d pump until the pumps burned out.  And that’s what those ragheads are doing---and getting filthy rich at it.

Everyone seems to think the prices are high due to speculation involving terrorist attacks on the supplies.  But think about how fucked up that logic is:  the oil is controlled, in most part, by raghead countries.  Raghead countries have been the prime sponsors of terrorism.  Raghead countries have done little to stem the threat of terrorist activity.  Is there a link between the last two sentences and the current price?  Reminds me of when those assholes tried to corner the silver market back.....when....the 70s?  There is no way any raghead, ass-in-the-air 5 times a day country will EVER do anything to stem terrorist activity because doing so will kill the goose that is laying their golden egg.

Meanwhile, back in the US, the enviro-wacko, granola munching, tree hugging, Birkenstock wearing, patchouli smelling, dope smoking, tofu eating crowd says we can’t drill.  Nor can we build new refineries.

You have to wonder, “given that we are at max refining capacity, what would happen if one of our refineries went down?  Or got attacked?”

I believe it is time to declare open season on environmentalists.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
