IMHO
Alton Humes is a tremendously reliable source on all things petroleum. After reading this article I laughed and then cried and then laughed again! His credentials are unparalleled by any author who has, or ever will write anything EVER. I must say that he writes with the flair of Shakespeare crossed with the intuitive analysis of Freud complemented with dash of whimsy rivaling Dr. Seuss. Eat your heart out Bob Dylan because there is a new poet in town who will call you to task when it comes to "cut to the bone" wordsmithing. Upon googling him I found that he is an expert on many different subjects as well.
Readers of his article posted here might also be enlightened by some of his other articles (really more like masterpieces) such as:

I for one am going to add Alton Hume to my news filter long with the Belize Times and Belize Channel 7. Thanks for the great article and even more for the Pulitzer Prize worthy Mr. Humes.
It's easy to see what a credible source he is when you do a google search of each paragraph of the Treaty Fraud article and you will find that each paragraph contains snippets of the words used in other author's articles in the exact order used in each paragraph of Humes' informative article. These other "writers" are obviously plagiarizing him and should be sued for stealing his intellectual properties. I mean seriously, what other author would use the word "uncouth" to describe the rape of a 13 year old child except all that is the unsinkable Mr. Alton Humes.
Will you back me up?
P.S. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for his article about the struggles of a 13 year old boy who can't read but went on to win the Belize spelling bee
