    OK, Beks. It looks like you ate some of my shittles with all that flowery nostalgic nonsense. Please go to the Middle East and tell all those nice petrocrats how they should share their "central square" with us. Or go tell the Chinese to stop buying oil since it's driving up oil prices.

    Beks,

    With all due respect, you're advocating a Socialist/Communist environment. If not, please describe how your system would be different from a Socialist/Communist Government. If your system were implemented, the system would collapse.

    If you are advocating a socialist or Communist Government... then I have no interest in speaking with you...ever. This kind of thinking is what will bring down America.

    I'm not talking about use, I'm talking about speculation. It's like a lifeboat with 5 people, and the guy sitting on the locker with K rations for 5. Why should he be making a profit??

    Horse Pucky Sam! It's what America has been for the better part of it's existence! The Founding Fathers warned us about Monopolies, Dynasties, Corporations, etc.

    I'd really just like to say "Cuz it's his fucking K rations." just to piss you off, but that analogy doesn't even map to the real world in any way shape or form.

    If you close off the free market system of trading Oil, what's next? The stock market? You don't have a material interest in each company you invest in, so you can't trade. The Bond market? The Currencies market?

    If you shut down Capitalism, you shut down country. If you shut down Capitalism you shut down the very foundation that America was founded on.

    If you shut down Capitalism, you end up like the old USSR....except the USA would be called USSA. The United Soviet Socialists of America.

    Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. Nobody said anything about shutting down capitalism.

    Ah yes Burn, when all else fails insult. You are the perfect right winger. You think if you talk loud enough, be rude and condescending enough, no one will notice that your arguments are weak. Sorry, we do.
