Tom’s right, it’s the worldwide poor who suffer catastrophically when oil spins out of control; American’s always forget that their poorest citizens are largely insulated against the sort of suffering that the real poor in the rest of the world go through. Idiots like Pummer never own up the the death and suffering they cause when they urge drastic changes in the name of ideological progress; he’s another ahistorical moron who takes the entire industrial revolution so much for granted that he thinks he can just wave it away with last weeks junk mail. I suspect that one of the reasons oil remains so high is that the honest speculators know that the world still runs on oil while the fashionable environmentalist twits keep up with the pretense that the world can just step off; the truth is in the price of a barrel.
