A few weeks ago, the idea of offshore drilling was starting to be seriously considered. Many officials were realistic, saying that the oiled obtained would not come in until years later, and only be sufficient for a very short time frame. However, the actual oil was not meant to be obtained.

Although President Bush was considering, as well as the two candidates to succeed Bush, Obama and McCain, to drill for oil, it was not the oil he was after. Instead, offshore drilling was meant to have a placebo effect. The fact that America was drilling for oil, regardless of the expense, time, and amount, would ease American minds of gas price trouble. This idea was not popular—how can an attitude towards mathematical statistics change the numbers themselves?

Nearly three weeks ago, according to the article at BBC, the placebo was a success. With dropping prices, it seemed that OPEC was becoming worried and began to drop the price a little. Ever since, small price drops have been occurring. However, these tin drops are only helping mentally and not economically. Although it is true that Americans are technically saving on gas, the prices are still high enough for no shopping sprees or other national economic boosts to occur. So, regardless of the placebo positively affecting the nation, it is only helping short term but not solving anything long term.

Placebos never cure chronic ailments. Severe inflation and fuel crisis needs better correction measures.

Exactly, that’s why we have to drill for oil, not just inflate our tires as Obama has suggested.

Oil is made of what’s left of living creatures... It is essentially the essence of Life... We are burning it all up... I hold the technologies to open the bonds of the inert elements, to make 200-million new chemicals, some of which are plastics from petroleum, we can use to grow synthetic replacement organs, artificial life, and PC’s worn on the fore-arm as a skin-graft... I have what will boost life expectancy to beyond 300... I have the bench manual to build what burns light as a power source... A 4-inch diameter by 14 inch long plazma engine produces 10,000 pounds thrust for free... (engines for floating/flying cars).. but this government can’t grasp how it works, so they tell me it can’t work...

The only way I’ll build these technologies, is in a lab in the fresh granite mountains between Calgary and Banff... It stays in Canada, or I takes it to the grave!.. I hold 300 untapped technologies, which could make Canada number one in all the Sciences , but the Canada Science and Technology people tell me they aren’t interested in my stuff, because it won’t show a 200% profit in a year... Our government is more interested in money than they are in our lives... Our government has become just a den of thieves sucking the life out of us, to fuel their useless lives in frivolous luxury...

Bottom line: This government supplies me with a lab, a cabin near a clean lake and creek, two hummers, and a credit card.. and I pump out new technologies... Or I takes it all to the grave.. AYMEN!...


Oil is Not for burning!.. There is more life in it... I can put the Life back into oil...
