Why not buy us out

Just joking PB, but if we could buy you for what you are worth and sell you for what you think you are worth we would do it in a minute. My personal feelings are that we could hardly have better neighbors than the Canucks.

Interesting how this storm, Gustav is affecting oil and gasoline prices. They have been showing all the rigs and platforms in the Gulf and talking about how oil production is going to be curtailed by the hurricane. Of course, there are no rigs or platforms off the Florida coast. If drilling new wells offshore in the areas now prohibited will not have any effect on oil prices as the dimocrats claim, why is this hurricane having such an adverse effect and causing an oil shortage and resulting higher prices? Could it be possible the dimocrats are lying? AGAIN!

No, could it be......

NPR just did a report that since Katrina, the oil rigs were re-vamped to weather such storms and at the moment there is minimal damage. They're still working.

I want to know why we can't use the reserves while the rigs are shut down or slowed - at least until production is back up.

Does anyone know how oil is in the reserves in alaska?

I don't know... But I can tell you that Canada is the second biggest oil reserve after Saudi Arabia... And we still pay gas the big price.

Finally we do have something that Algore did invent; Global Warming. It is indeed a hoax however when combined with the socialist agenda now under way here in the U.S. look out. America is about to take a wicked turn here and if "We the People" are not careful that turn will be fatal. The North American Union between America, Canada and Mexico seems to be steaming right along. But if and when this is actually put in place where will our American Constitution be? Not to worry as it will not matter I assure you as it will not and I mean will NOT apply. Freedoms as you knew them will be history. Sadly no one but a handful of us seems capable of thinking ahead and of the actual consequences. Libs have been trained to think a certain way and long term does not enter in to their picture. It's all here and now and if it feels good do it. Might as well be asleep at the wheel as the inevitable crash is coming but by then it will indeed be too late.

Am I the only one that sees this for what it is including the coming train wreck that is scheduled to occur here? The "amero" is to replace the dollar and I truly believe this Wall Street calamity is just the right crisis to justify implementation. Apparently the scenario that is planned includes never recovering from this disaster financially thereby forcing, as the only viable solution, this new currency. Mark my words. So simplistic yet totally feasible.

In addition, the dumbing down of society helps to create many simpleton drones who attend life and not those who affect it, change it for the better etc. So who will say no to this new direction(s) I ask you? Not many. The fact that the very CEO's who have been deeply involved in this financial debacle have vacationed to the tune of $500,000 for a weekend retreat. It was reported on the news and alleged outrage was also stated to exist amongst the masses. But what what has been done about this so far and here it is a mere week later? Nothing. Nor will anything be done. That is a good indicator of the progress of those who wish to change America and any other country and it is being measured I assure you. What was the reaction of the people? $700 billion might not be enough now? Did you hear either McCain or Obama mention any of this during the last debate? How about the debate prior to? My point exactly. It's already history. Hello my fellow drones and welcome to our new utopia!

Enjoy the ride folks is all I can add. Enemy of the people someone mentioned? I suppose, not yet but soon. Ask anyone who has lived under socialism and they will confirm it. In fact I have read a few times that we here in the US have been living under a social agenda for a long time yet no one recognized it for what it is/was. Small insignificant changes so no one notices. Hello my fellow drones and welcome to our new utopia!

Peace and GOD bless.

This issue is not the offshore rigs it is the refineries. You can not process the crude fast enough hence the bottleneck justifying higher costs for the end product.

Of course the rigs have been reinforced and have been since the '70's but if your refineries are controlled and "shut down/alleged damaged by mother nature"...

Council on Foreign Relations (like 'em or hate 'em), today reported that Cuba has found as much as 29 billion barrels in offshore oil reserves, to be drilled starting in 2009 - next year.

So, I guess this means that while we are "looking at" offshore and other explorations as "one option" to resolve our "dependency on imported oil", they are drilling.

Why don't we just DONATE ourselves to Canada? Would they accept the gift of a people as stupid as we have been?

I agree. So who do we blame for the stalls when these refineries are trying to expand like they're doing in Illinois? Thank you tree-hugging dimocrats.
