The government is 3 steps ahead of us, not 3 steps behind. You have
to realize who the government is, they don't get elected. What are
they doing with all that oil up in Alaska, that we'll never see???
That's the 4th largest oil deposit in the world and it's just
sitting there, why? The largest is in Suadi, second largest is Iraq.
Want to take a guess at where the 3rd largest oil deposit is?? You
know, the ones we are going to blast next-Iran.
