Thanks for the good words Slab. It'll be better in a few days.

I yawned and turned off the video not just because of the drugs, but because I've already taken Econ 101 through 400 something on natural resource economics. The speaker's story had a hard RWWJ slant that I don't need to listen to. That's as objectionable to me as the LW slant that you attempt to project for what you imagine left wingers think. I have a low tolerance for stupidity is all. Stupid like the woman in the 2008 campaign who was so glad that Obama was gonna' pay her mortgage when he got elected. Stupid like Newt Gingrich saying he'd bring gas prices down to $250/gallon if he were elected. I'd cut the woman some slack because she more likely than not is ignorant. I wouldn't cut Newt an inch because he has been and is in a position to know better, and I bet he does know better, which makes him something of a pathological liar. Anyway, Grizz' video is flawed because of cherry picking facts to fit a slanted presentation. Why waste time watching crap like that?
