What arguments? Do I havta scan all the way back thru the thread, or can 
we just carry on with the most recent points that are still fresh in mind?

I dont see the data to sup****t dismissiveness or ad hominum. Whatever we 
get to see is spun by the source. It'd be nice to hear what the 
lobbyists are telling congress, and it'd be nice to hear what Gulf Oil 
barons are telling the transnat oil honchos.

But lacking that, all we have is reasonable speculation based on the 
nature of man, greed, and politics. Both the leader****p and the voters, 
the CEOs and the consumers, are greedy and stupid.

Trying to motivate the CEOs and various national oil barons to search 
for alternatives to oil just goes against human nature. Taxing them for 
the money to fund research in the public interest, and to maximize the 
profits of small business- which also has no say in what goes on between 
the leader****p and the boardrooms- makes more sense.

Why is it that those against government dispersal of grant money always 
think small business cannot find effective uses for it? Just because its 
tax money dont mean it hasta be used to sup****t welfare queens. Lets 
give the guys starting out in garages a chance with a cut on the taxes 
put on the oil barons and transnationals. There are new technologies out 
there the leader****p and boardrooms dont see because of group think.
