Hey Eric! Sorry it took so long to get back to you — I have sick bunnies That’s not a euphemism, my bunnies really are sick.

This post made me laugh, btw, as did some of the responses. It’s a typical rich response: let the poor do my good works and I’ll live in luxury with a clear conscience.

Hah, thats funny.
I always thought that when the regulations were dropped our first settlers stopped starving.
And you wanna bring them back ?

” close the trading floors in America and Britain and end the futures contract speculation.”

” all we needed was to shut down the traders, ban the cartels, and reduce our demand.”

Yea , lets have the government run it, and our health care and our…

If you guys had it your way by the time you got done there would be no one left to tax.
Then what would you do ?

I’m high??? I’ll tell you what’s “high” - oil. Too high. It’s ridiculous. I hate to say it, but I’m now officially convinced that unregulated American profiteers are wrecking, absolutely WRECKING this country.

Jersey,
Sorry to kill your ego but I’ve been well aware of globaly traded commodities for decades. I’m 51 years old.
Whatever it is you say it doesnt change the fact that an interuption in the flow from any supplier would effect the market.
Today, it could be disasterous.
This is the market, thats the way it works.
I have contempt for the rise of grain commodities because of corn based ethanol.
I doubt the rise will be permanent once we discover that there is a greater market for food than crappy bio fuels.

JMJ:
“Of course, it would be easy to change that: close the trading floors in America and Britain and end the futures contract speculation.”

You’re high.

JMJ;
” all we needed was to shut down the traders, ban the cartels, and reduce our demand.”

All I need is about 1.86 million to break clear and make it through retirement.

Deja vu. Wasn’t I who reminded you that oil is a globally traded commodity and so therefore it really doesn’t matter where it comes from? Of course, it would be easy to change that: close the trading floors in America and Britain and end the futures contract speculation. These speculators are purely superfluous, unnecessary middlemen practicing essentially insider point-setting, illegal in most of life’s transactions. They are unregulated, and exist soley because of legal loopholes, ostensibly to stabilize oil prices - now, obviously a failure.

Saudi Arabia has been a stable supplier for years. That’s why we did the Kuwait war, to keep them safe. They’ve been safe ever since. Back then, invading Iraq seemed like an obviously stupid option. Apparently, we’d gotten a lot stupider since then, though now we seem to better understand our mistake. We never needed Iraq, or Iran, or Cuba, or any of those sorts of states - all we needed was to shut down the traders, ban the cartels, and reduce our demand. That would have been in the best national interest. But there are people out there who really don’t care at all about the national interest. They only care about their own immediate personal interest, and that’s making money at the expense of our posterity. I find that disgusting and I wish they’d knock it off.

“Micky, we don’t get all that much oil from the Middle East anyway. It’s a myth ”

The clue you dont have is that the reserves in the middle east are projected to last longer than any we know of right now.
And since others who are our allies have their economies at stake we serve the purpose of securing those reserves for them as well in a global economy.
The world gets a very nice chunk of oil from the middle east.

http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/company_level_imports/current/import.html
“The top sources of US crude oil imports for April were Canada (1.952 million barrels per day), Saudi Arabia (1.453 million barrels per day), Mexico (1.259 million barrels per day), Nigeria (1.115 million barrels per day), and Venezuela (1.019 million barrels per day). ”

JMJ:
” Welcome to reality. ”

Your perceptions and hateful spins do not dictate reality.
And you can not show anything that we are doing in the middle east represents imperialism.
Al Countries in the middle east remain sovereign.
That is a fact.
And fact dictates reality.
