Orion admitted tha Austrian police do not investigate nor report the facts so we must assume many rapes go unreported.

By 500%? That defies common sense.

Apparently much of Europe is the same way. My sisten in-law is Belgian and she had her purse stolen in Italy. The police flat out refused to take a report or come out.

I don’t believe it. The Italian police is the most corrupted in Western Europe, but there is no way they could refuse to take your statement. I suspect your sis-in-law was either 1) impatient, 2) unreasonable, 3) unable to communicate.

I don’t care if you believe it or not. It is what happened and my sister in law is perfectly reasonable, intelligent and able to communicate in many languages.

Back on topic,

Oil sets record near $128; pump price at high, too

“On May 10, we raised supplies to customers by increasing 300,000 barrels per day of oil (output),” Naimi said. “Therefore, production in June will be 9.450 million bpd … In the future if the need appears, Saudi Arabia has no objection to producing more.”

“Saudi Arabia holds most of the world’s spare oil capacity to meet any unexpected fall in supply. Naimi reiterated that the kingdom was committed to keeping spare capacity of 2 million bpd.”

Fuck no. My next car is going to a 1970 Road Runner Superbird. They get like 6 miles per gallon on a good day. They are bad ass too.

I guess we have the Arabs to also blame for shitty cars like the Scion and the Element.

You can ride with your cousin Bo but make sure Daisy drives her own Jeep when she meets you there.

Towing a boat with a big-ass V-8, duel 4-barrels, open headers.

I think we owe it to the planet to burn all the fossil fuel as quickly as possible.

Drive V12 motors!

The ANWR is enormous. It is something like 19 Million acres of almost inacessible land that few if any will ever see or be able to survive in. Oil development would leave a small and heavily regulated footprint in the most remote areas (area 1002). Less then 10,000 acres would be used for development and would be easily reclaimed.

ANWT would add at least 5% to domestic capacity. Coastal drilling along both coasts and parts of the Gulf could easily add another 10-15% of domestic capacity. That takes Saudi and Venezuala out of the picture. More likely a 10-15% increase in supply crushes the oil speculators and brings the market in line. Crude settles at $40-50 a barrel, maybe less. Build some refineries and start hitting the oil sands in the US and Canada and the energy market has a different look.

Keep in mind reserves are calculated on old technology and the assumption is it never gets any better. Both are false assumptions. Oil will not run out anytime soon. Prices will come down when the US has the political will to bring them down.

So did you write you letter?
I did and even got some responses back. Every little bit of pressure helps.
