I understand what they are trying to get at with the terror-free gas, but a) aren't there serious problems in OTHER regions where we buy oil, e.g. Venezuela, and b) can't this lead to looking for oil where this is very little for the cost of getting it, e.g. Alaska?

Re the "terror-free gas."

I disagree that there are "serious problems" with Venezuela. I agree if this business became widespread it could lead to additional pressure for drilling in areas like Alaska.

Two things struck me about it. One was that in the news clip, which was little more than a free commercial, they carefully avoiding showing the price of the gas.

The other, more important, was that the entire attitude of the undertaking is that the Middle East is "an area of the world that wants to destroy us." We are, in their view, targeted by Arabs. Not by Islamic terrorists, not even by terrorists generally, but by Arabs. Apparently, all Arabs. So all oil from the region is supporting terrorism and all companies doing business in the region are supporting terrorism. I call bullshit.

I almost didn't send this - seems like a repeat to me, but then again sometimes two noticing the same ad brought to us as scientific wonder is truly many more than that. Wake up! We do see you! Arabs are not terrorists merely because they are of Iranian, Iraqi, Saudi, Eqyptian, Palestian, and of course even Israeli Arabians and Kurds or other religious groups. They are not! This is a racist tract despite it's tenet as nice produced and drilled American oil. Bull Shit II!

I wonder if the rubber sidewalks would be easier on the legs for walkers. I know concrete sidewalks are supposed to have some long-term ill effects on bones and tendons.
