Venezuela has been acting badly against the US. Its president has been attacking US at every angle. He is cozying up to Cuba's Castro and embracing more and more socialistic and authoritarian rule. The country has pretty much nationalized the oil business and the government is in complete control of the parent company of CITGO which is operating freely here in the States. Personally, I have decided to boycut CITGO stations. Why should I give my business to a country that has been acting like our enemy? What do you think?

Short Answer...Saudis fund hate schools in Pakistan and throughout the mideast, the Bin L's are Saudi, the US Saudi Ambass's wife Contributed $ to support 2 of the 9/11 terrorists while they lived in San Diego (of course she denied knowing what they were up to ... and she and her husband soon returned to Saudi Ar... And something like 14 or so of the 9/11 crowd were Saudi. Is this made up? Not one word. Is this nuts or what?

As for gas...I try to buy Chevron or Amaco...now bp. Actually...can't say I've put ten gallons of citgo ever in car. Heck if I need gas I need gas. And no matter where it comes from it isn't pretty...I thinks...and it all smells bad.

I will not boycot Saudi oil. At least their government is not against us. Some of the people there are. In fact, what started all the anti-American sentiment among the young Saudis has its roots in US government's position that the militant Muslim clergy should have a voice in their education system. We vigorously pursuaded their education system to open to all persuations - work of some of our liberal idealists. It is one instance where our preaching came back to bite us. Prior to that, the Saudi royal family had kept a well disciplined control over the militant clergy. Sometimes, we Americans can be our worst enemy!

Real Short Answer: There's no politics in oil...only money.
(whether it's usa, venexwala, saudi, nigeria, etc. it's $...not people, not politics...only money). * Anything else is a distraction. All a place with oil wants to do is make money. And more money. I don't care what place it is. More money. And anything to distract the end user from this truth. Why? Because that makes it easier to raise prices. People thinks theres a reason. Ain't none. Just money.*

Oil is still the biggest and most important business/industry...bigger then and in some ways more powerful then government. It's as if langauge doesn't matter because oil is spoken. And what do I have to say for all of this...here's what..."ten gallons please."

That Venexwhalen talks up a bad storm. He has bad friends. But who elected him? I think he was elected. Anyway...whenever he talks his garbage and visits with his friends who are also nuts the price of oil goes up. He talks bad, we respond, the price goes up. Politics driving up price. l
try not to listen to any of them. Cause in the end and no matter what any of them says the price goes up. Storms or no storms. Chinese or no Chinese. Demand or no demand.*

(by the way...read the business sections of decent business papers and you'll learn that new fields are being bargained for and developed all of the time...this week it was some really big oil deal in russia...those russian oil deals are really huge. at least that's what the business news reports)

*anyway...that's what i thunk.,$@^$.

First Le Sept/Onze boycotts Playboy et al. Now they're putting the kabash on Citgo. Seems Citgo is the cause celebre du jour et pour le moment. Wow. They are soooo with the program at southparkland. Now I am sure Citgo will fold like a cheap suit knowing their product won't be sold at Le Sept Onze. boo hoo Now no one will be buying their oil and Venexucalea will go under like the Titanic. Une Deux Trois finis pour Citgo. Thank goodness for Le Sept Onze pride. Perhaps they'll cecede from the Union as a next act.

So what's the replacement...Saudi Anthrabia...the Officially Approved Oil of the Administration??? Or shall Uranium or Iranium oil replace the Venexualian oild? Whatever...as soon as the gooey is on a tanker it's all the same goo. And to think otherwise is to ignore the history of the oil buziness.

Horray for southland. they make me proud. the south will indeed rise once more. uh huh.
