As you may recall, when Bush the father was vice president the price of oil dropped causing the vice president to close his plants. You probably remember the great migration from Texas due to loss of jobs, thanks to the vice president. Mr. Bush then went to Arabia telling OPEC to reduce their production so the prices will go up. That was the father.
Now, the momentum for the perpetual rise of price of oil seems to be diminishing. So Bush the son privately tells the King of Arabia to deny his public request for increasing production. That is sufficient to cause another lengthy spike in the price of oil.
Do you feel any shortage? Do you have to wait in line to fill your tank? It is not the oil that is in shortage. What is actually in shortage, is the billions to quench the thirst of the Bushes. Evidently, the billions of tax money they got as incentive to rebuild their refineries was not enough. Also keep in mind that the military is consuming more oil than people driving their cars. The higher price means more profit from sales to the government.
Yes, I am so stupid to believe that the President of the United States of America makes a public request to his puppet, and his request is surprisingly denied. With hundreds of billions in profits and incentives, just how hard it is to increase domestic production instead of begging a puppet?

Hi,
Yeah, well, I guess I violated the law, then. I did take a copy of that picture (photo of you) --
[sounds really smug and conceited. almost smart-aleck. I didn't mean it that way :( ... continued next message]
[continued]
and if ya'll send me to jail for it, I'm so depressed that I wouldn't care, at this point. Be happy to reimburse ($$) you, though.
But I guess you don't care, as you didn't say anything about it before.
The graphic I took [that picture of you that you later took down] is worth more than any money you might ask as reimbursement, anyway.
_Maybe_ they'll even let me bring a hard copy of it into the jail cell.
No, I don't really think you would send me to jail for _that_! I'm just talking like this because of black depression.
As far as the other item ("we can see your IP address AND what sites you came from before [and went to AFTER] you accessed
zhmicro.com" - )
that is something I should have known . . .
It scares the __ outta me!
Also, the fact that you can block me from accessing this site. . . . But I could just access it from another IP address (Kinko's or
someplace else). [Theoretically.] (But I don't think I'll be accessing anything anymore. This is surely the END. I just don't
have the heart for it.)
"Not from jail, you couldn't!"
I feel physically ill right now. *groan*
I should have known. ___ that scares me!
Serves me right, though.
Let's _all_ give up on life and go to jail. -- Or better yet, let's all go become homeless.
-
Sorry. Really am sorry.
:(
-------
Had a little too much fun with that computer of mine -- it's better when it's broke.
I didn't mean I was scared that I stole the graphic so much -- I was more scared about the IP address and URL thing. Still am.
:(
------------------------
At the time when I first read that (that you could see my IP address and such), I was at Kinko's then, and my computer was broke -- some
time last year - I didn't pay much attention to it. I mean, I was at KINKO'S, so what did I care? Why did I put that out of my mind?
What's the matter w/ me? Am I a complete stupid idiot? Yes.
Yes, I realize that you might not have cared enough to even check up on things like that. I know that. But it's the _possibility_
that you _may_ have, that's the problem.
This is really stunning. Serves me right - as I may sow, so shall I reap. This is depressing; but I can't think of a better
poetic justice.
My middle name means "reaper."
This is justice, surely.
Anyway - it's almost like an answer to prayer, in one perverse sense: I needed a way to "get over" my feelings for you. Now maybe I
can. (Maybe, maybe.) *groan* I feel like a complete idiot.
I thought I was so smart! Yeah right! The whole Wikipedia thing, for example! I mean, I knew _you_ are a _genius_, but ---
What a complete IDIOT I've been! *groan*
Actually I was only trying to help with Wikipedia. My intentions were good. (posted as youtai8xian, but you might have
already figured out that it was me) - But now, I feel like a complete Bozo.
Thought I was so smart. Yeah, right.
I had to hit rock bottom. I had to come to the end of myself. Yep.
I'm not hungry and I won't be. My stomach feels like I have swine flu. I don't have swine flu. I just feel bad.
Will I pray? Yes, I will. It will be a lot more sincere now - that's for sure. Maybe there won't be any chip on my shoulder
anymore; that might be a good thing.
My programmer brother told me years ago, in a hypothetical discussion, that hacking is not worth the time; although he is certainly
capable of it. So I thought --- *sigh* I don't know, but I should have known. I really should have known. But there are certain
things that are easier than others. And it's not "hacking" per se, if you (or ZHMICRO) look at my IP address and all that.
I still don't know if it is possible for you to see whether I visit your blog or not.
If you know that I've gone to distributed-software.blogspot.com , that's one thing; but that is very generalized so far.
More specifically, I'm curious as to whether or not you can detect whether I've read certain _parts_ of that blog. Oh well, whatever,
it doesn't matter now. -- And, not that YOU care, anyway! Hah!
I can't see my own internet history because I deleted it. That was stupid.
Well, there _may_ not be anything to be ashamed of, in the URLs that you could see at various times -- But then again, there MAY!
That's the problem! So I'm ashamed of things that I am not even sure of! Ridiculous, right?! Yeah, it IS ridiculous -- But I
can't shake it! This is the end.
[continued next message]

Surely - This is the end of the giant obsession with the great Einstein genius. (?). No - It's not the end of my worship or adoration,
but it's the end of the whole cyber-stalking. Surely. Surely, I've come to the end. Really took the wind out of my sails. That's
for sure. What utter humiliation.
*groan*
--------------------
Alright, I just went and looked at the Wikipedia thing. Yes, I think you are really mad at me. Because you deleted the comment
(apparently) that you had made in reply to what Youtai8xian wrote. This makes me feel even worse than before. If it were possible.
I really need to apologize. What kind of apology can I make? I can't think of anything that would be sufficient. This is the worst
feeling ever.
I did _purposely_ go in there (as Youtai8xian) and search for all those Persian things (like Cyrus) and leave a trail of it, a history
within wikipedia. Because, although I didn't want you to know who I was at first, I later did.
But -- I promise I was doing it originally with good intentions. I was mad at that Simon Best guy.
I didn't intend to cause a problem for YOU, or offend _you_ at all. I just wanted them to leave you alone.
[now I don't need to worry about being "scared" or "afraid" of anything. now it's just REALITY. I surely must have offended you.
The above section - That wasn't "rock bottom" - this is.]
If you hate me, that's OK, because now I hate myself too. I'm so sorry.
Well I guess the first part [section] of this is something I should delete (why send it to you?) -- If you are mad at me because of that
Wikipedia thing, then all the rest of it (above) just sounds even worse. God help me.
I'm very sorry.
------------
I _will_ pray that you forgive me, but I doubt that will happen. Serves me right. Actually I doubt you'll even read this.
