Robert Zubrin, author of, "Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil" is one brave mamma jamma.  He looks like Squiggy from Laverne & Shirly which is rather endearing . . . but of supreme importance is his description of what OPEC has done over the years.

At a book signing on CSPAN2 recently, he showed a nice chart and explained how OPEC can just have their annual meeting . . . and if the price of oil is going down - slow down production until the price goes up . . . to $200 per barrel or something ridiculous.  OPEC can do this even if we all worked together as one planet and reduced the human population or cut down our gas use.

OPEC can do anything - and believe me, they have.  Zubrin went on to describe what the members of this group and the group over in the Middle East has done with the trillions of dollars from the oil.  You know - they acted like crazy humans on fire . . . aaaaaahhhhh!!! . . . total debauchery buying everything including palaces and cars and people, blah, etc.  It makes me laugh thinking about it . . . because they totally freaked out with the cash like teenagers with Daddy's credit card.  I mean, we all would a little - but they went all the way.  Dopes.

The Saudis built around them the most intollerant form of Islam, created the Talliban . . . while they are total indulgers themselves.  It's like a forbidden fruit that's thorny on the outside, but soft and mushy in the middle.

Zubrin basically said at the end, "If we don't switch to using alcohol instead of gas we will be giving money to people that are completely totallitarian and have no respect for Western culture and freedom."  I totally agree since (as I said) these guys are being extremely silly.

I think we all would love to have money, but after a couple of years most people would calm down and donate a little to charity . . . pull themselves together a little, you know.  Get back to basics before too much indulgeance took it's toll on the human body at least.

Anyway, besides baby (OPEC) needing a spank I'd like to add that Zubrin stated that alcohol can be made from almost anything.  In Brazil they have a lot of alcohol cars and they use sugar, but you could use corn or even swamp muck to make alcohol.

I have a feeling that this time people are going to listen . . . I just wish I had the force field for Squiggy (Zubrin) my father always talked about when he would curse the oil companies in German when I was growing up.  He wanted such a device (personal force field) so that he could play superman and simply walk up to OPEC and say, "You will stop polluting the Earth".

Let's see what unfolds.  Oh, and before we are all waterboarded at Gitmo . . . the views of this Blog poster do not necessarily reflect the views of Greenpeace.  After all, some environmentalists still think that using alcohol is bad because it would increase agriculture . . . and taking a plough to the earth is not 100% natural.

* That's my disclaimer.

Back when I was a canvasser, we used to steal the little, "76" orange balls off of the antennas of cars . . . because we hated the Union 76 corporation.  I was just thinking how every true Greenpeace member should have at least one of these balls on his tree . . . assuming he's not using ALL orange balls because he has a box of them under his house.

 Stealing the balls was so much fun that I once told my canvasser buddy James (he used to drive tanks in the army) that I'd love to make a video game about canvassing.  James replied, "You could have a little voice ringing out, 'Quota!  Quota!' when you . . . got the money."

 I think a Greenpeace canvasser is doing his job when he hangs a Union 76 ball up on the tree.  Hey - you could always paint it silver so it would be aesthetically accurate.

 Good hunting!!  Lots of 76 balls out there and there are lots of trees that need 'em.  Don't be shy about pruning kids!!!  Pluck awaaaaay!!

 HO HO HO!!!  MEEEERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

P.S. Don't forget to vote for Rudy the Mayor if you are voting Republican!!!  Rudy is tough on the Mafia and the cheesy Mafia enslaves kids!!  Even his name is cool: ROODY TH MAYER.  ROODY.

Be safe and here's hoping all canvassers make quota.  Quota . ..  quota!!  Peace.
