Oilmanbob, I support your disgust with politics, as I am a resident of Friendswood, and though I support his side of being a constitutionist, I see his actions and actions speak louder than words.I can't help but wonder how much he will cower to the politically correct! which in my opinion is the clutch of death to the USA!
I feel the current politicians of all states are out of touch with the common man! But then it's been that way for many years anyway. I had wanted to throw my vote to Ron Paul, but something tells me Ron is not the one! Nor are the others! what a shame!
Geewiz, "Geewiz", Friendswood is a lot bigger than folks realize. My house backs up near the extreme eastern end of the east Hastings Oil field (which also extends west to Alvin).
I took my kiddo to the doctor for physical the other day and right there was the article in the Rolling Stones about the Enthanol "Scam". The magazine as you know is a bit edgy, but the author of the article did a first rate job and from reading some of the threads here at TOD got some guidance from this site. Politics is a fickle animal. I suspect somewhere along the way, when it is very evident that hydrocarban man's "ways" are threatened, it will become fashionable to sing the praises and execute more meaningful policies. Unfortunately, most are completely ignorant.
Kudos to oilmanbob and others who are directly pushing for attention to this topic by following up with their respective represntatives. And a big Kudos to all of the selfless people (editors, contributors, and posters) at TOD as it is a first rate site that perpetuates a meaningful discussion of future energy trends in a disciplined, highly sourced manner...with peer review as a rule.
