    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    hehe, yeah true, but my point was about people who don't mind supporting them.

    Our estimated oil reserves are listed at 21 billion barrels according to these charts. If we continue to produce 8-9 million barrels a day that should run us dry in 6-8 years. At this time, we will be forced to beg Mr Chavez for his oil again so I don’t see the logic behind 7/11's move.

    It's embarrassing (or hilarious) that these crazy leaders get rich with our money. Your/my money helped Saddam build his palaces, helps fund Iran’s nuclear program and empowers Chavez.
    The less you know, the more you believe.
