No, what I'd really be kewl with is if
auto makers gave us an option of
driving vehicles not hooked on gasoline.
Then we all could care less what oil
contracts have to do with anything.

How do you propose moving large shipments of goods with petrol-powered vehicles?
And how do you propose making these non-petrol powered vehicles cheap enough for the public to be able to afford at a level that would begin to actually impact the market place?

Now, why doesn't he just have the Swiss turn over that 18 Billion to it's rightful owners The Libyan people since he loves them so much?
I'm sure that will build a few schools, hospitals and feed a few hundred thousand.

Ah! Nice catch. And the reason I asked BSBRAY that question was he/she was claiming that the war is 'all about oil'. Why dont we wait and see how he/she answers? is it all about the oil? even though the US gets most of it's oil from N. America?

As far as I cant tell, he was only attacking the domestic terrorists that were trying to overthrow his legitimate government.
Thats how they would spin it in any country we like, including the US itself. Let a group of civilians go on the attack in the US, attack the US military and seize its equipment and then see if the MSM makes it sound as if the people doing that are sympathetic "rebel" and the government is "killing its own people" when they knock the snot out of the "domestic terrorists."

without getting too far off topic, and assuming the video and speculation you provide is accurate, do you understand that powering a dune buggy and powering an 18 wheeler are not comparable in terms of calories?
