second thoughts
boy don't you wish we'd have drilled for oil in anwr and the gulf of mexico back in 2000? heh. at first thought it seems like it would have been a great idea. we wouldn't have these out of control pump prices. heh. well, at second thought. heh. i should rename this blog to second thoughts. anywho, if we had drilled the anwr oil we the world would not have drilled oil somewhere else. there are only so many expert drilling crews. and they're not idle. they've been working around the clock for decades to deliver the oil you want. yeah maybe anwr oil would be slightly cheaper and slightly more plentiful than what we actually drilled. but the difference would be insignificant given the instabilities in the primary oil producing regions. and the falling dollar. anyone who says different is blowing smoke up your ass. thick black oily smoke.
