Oil Prices - What to do?

[mikeymac]

Just got back from New Orleans and coming through south Arkansas I was reminded of all the oil that is pumped there along with the recent extraction of natural gas in the northwest area called the Fayetteville shell, just a little northwest of where I live.

The argument from Pelosi's group that there is only 10 years of oil there pales compared to the crap we are having to take from the Saudis. I say keep your oil and try eating it.

I remember Jerry Clower's story of hunting raccoons in the Mississippi night. They are hunting racoon's in the Mississippi woods near Yazoo city and the dog's tree one. Jerry climbs the tree to get a better shot and discovers it's not a raccoon but what they call a souped up wildcat (panther). Jerry and the Panther are now going at it when the ground man yells up to Jerry if he wants him to chance a shot at the panther. Jerry yells back down and says "just shoot up here amongst us, because one of us has got to have some relief".

We need some relief from foreign oil. We're burning it we ought to supply it since we have it. If it gives us another 10 year window for better technology I say so be it.
