So, it's take 10 years to get oil from Anwar or the contentintal shelf to the pump? How long do you think it;ll take to rebuild the rail system? How we going to rebuild all that roadway when the price of gas and fuel for the locomotives make it too expensive to ship all but the most necessary stuff? How are people going to get to work when they lose money doing so? Some people can;t pay $100/week for gas (or more) and stilll buy that other thing they've developed a habit for - food. Then there's those little things like medicenes, and all the things people need to survive. what a silly proposal - Larry T (66 MGB, 74 911, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net 800-583-8601 Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 2:18 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Let the oil flow! > The disease is greed, waste, and self importance. > > What will the cure do and how will it do it? > > It will cause us to rethink our transportation needs, which we have > needed to do since the inception of the interstates (and what a poor > implementation it was).
