Whaassup Chas. Guilty conscience or something? The cartoon was posted in response to Eddie's comment about media coverage of the oil spill. I guess you're right that the point of the cartoon is that this type of effort to dill oil would not be necessary unless we consumers had such a voracious appetite for fuel. I don't think it points the finger at you. We've discussed before the difference between the having a working truck that consumes a larger amount of fuel, and commuting in a gas hog that hasn't had a payload bigger than a few sacks of groceries.

I do think that the event creates an opportunity for discussion whether greater emphasis should be spent on conservation than on finding other sources to feed the beast.

Regards,
