Peak Oil - The American Idiot's Perspective

Unread postby arretium » Wed 28 May 2008, 01:41:07

So far we have the Muslim, Christian, and African American. So why not the American idiot's perspective?

To my good friends spe_cop and K-sem, I thought at first to call this the red blooded white male Republican perspective.... But then I realized that you guys are both smart people, so I thought better of it... Not to mention I didn't want K-sem hunting me down.... :).


What is the Idiot's perspective?

Here's my take, the idiot's perspective on oil prices is:
Those libs and enviro whackos who refuse to let me drill on their front lawn and won't let Big Oil build a refinery are conspiring to make me give up my Chevy Suburban! Conversely, I chose the last option.

Yes this thread is entirely tongue in cheek.

Evil speculators are driving up the price by buying all the oil and storing it in the swimming pools of their mansions on Long Island.

Its true! You can see their ugly oily black swimming pools on Google Earth!

Yep. Someone else posted that vid here awhile back, commenting that "this is what we have to deal with" when it comes to the majority of the public and their (non)-awareness of P.O., the folks we generically refer to as Joe Sixpack, or J6P for short. Tho' I mentioned at the time that he looks like Joe's heavier-set cousin Jim Twelvepack.

You had the same initial reaction I did too... :lol:

:lol: :lol:

Actually arretium your poll is unfair, since you left out the real answer, which would be:

  • Any person, political persuasion irrelevant, who uses petroleum derivatives in any manner whatsoever, who points a finger at anyone other than the guy/gal looking back at them across the bathroom sink every morning

Those are the funniest. They're the ones that brought it to market, you're the sucker that put your own head in the noose.
