[meteorite-list] Apologies

[Mark Bowling]

My apologies to the list - this was meant to be between me and GeoZay.  MikeG I 
didn't intend to do this on purpose.  My apologies.

Please let's stop - the old saying about mixing politics and religion is for 
this very reason.  None of us will ever see eye to eye on these complex topics.

I'm a mining engineer and I see a lot said that just does not fit what I have 
learned or experienced.  I don't want to drink oil or pour it on the beach.  I 
don't want to give up my car either.  I don't want my privilege of being born in 
the USA and my lifestyle choices being exported onto the backs on the powerless 
masses in the third world, whose homes and ecosystems are being destroyed, and 
their safety and health being destroyed because, as I see it, we, who consume 
most of everything made, do not want to see a relatively pristine oil rig or 
open pit mine anywhere near anywhere we go.

I respect those who choose to forgo cars and electricity because they don't want 
to burden the earth.  I do not respect those who want to force others to change 
their lifestyles, while they do not.  I see a lot of complaining about problems, 
but I don't see much leadership offered.  I see a lot of proposals for 
alternative energy, but I don't see them putting their money into those 
investments.  I see America exporting and outsourcing more and more while the 
debt load continues to grow.  Our politicians have been lying to us by 
downplaying our debt.

I can't reply on list because I'd be a hypocrite - I guess MikeG doesn't have a 
car. 

And per his earlier post, if he wasn't to sit on a fortune instead of using it 
to keep his portfolio (or in this case - keep America the world leader), then so 

be it.  He doesn't understand the time value of money or economics.  He can bury 

his talents, but you and I can use them to double or quadruple them... 


Have a great weekend! :)
Mark

>>Every time I hear somebody say  "drill, baby, drill!", I want to drill
them in their face with my fist.  I could but I don't - because I am
not a child and I can control my urges -  unlike many fools who burn
gas like it grows on trees.<<


I  guess that's your opinion...but mine has been Drill, Baby, Drill for  
quite some while.
