| Some years ago about the time we had the first big gas trouble, people were complaining about oil companies.
One oil man said; "If we ran out of oil, people would change their tune." He was right. If we had no oil, things would come to a halt. Hunger would be the first thing we would feel.
I remember during WW2, gas was hard to get...it was rationed. Folks still seemed to get to where they wanted to go. Most folks would walk to the store rather than drive. I remember it as a good time. People would even stop on the street, and talk to each other. Strange how a time of war brings people together. I think we have more than is good for us. Now people don't talk to each other unless it's a text message. |

| We have plenty of oil already. The oil companies are making excessive profits from SPECULATION on oil futures. It's not the lack of oil that's sending the prices up, it's speculation. For corporate profits to rise I do not wish to destroy the environment to drill for oil.
Yes, we need to run out of oil alright if that's what it takes for the oil companies to take their excessive profits and invest them in the development of an alternative to oil. Like the tobacco companies, they need to diversify to stop feeding the world's bad habit.
Anyone who is concerned about world hunger can encourage the elimination of excessive beef eating. The amount of food resources that go into the harvesting of cattle would feed the world.
However, it is greed, not lack of resources, that separates haves from have nots worldwide. Our creator gave us a world of plenty without boundaries. Look what we did with that gift. |
