The War on Terror; Update July 4 2008

[yeahwho]

Once upon a time (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9401E2DC123FF937A25753C1A9679C8B 63), Osama bin Laden said if he took over Saudi Arabia, he would want oil to sell for $144 a barrel, six times the world price at the time. The world would be at his mercy! So we kicked his ass but good, and now he lives in Waziristan, and oil sells for $144 a barrel.

That's why we use Freedom Juice™ to power our Freedom Utility Vehicles of Freedom™ instead of dirty terrorist oil... Oil just sounds dirty...

Freedom isn't free, it's $144/barrel.

[yeahwho]

Freedom isn't free, it's $144/barrel.

yep, freedom is just another word for $144/barrel of oil.

we need to stop being so concerned with oil and start building our local economies.

So funny how it worked out that way.

i bought a burrito at the local burrito shop the other day? does that count?

although i've seen stores of theirs in cambridge and brookline too...so i guess it isn't really "local"...well i mean it all depends on what "local" means, doesn't it? because while those are all three separate towns, they're all still in the same basic geographic area, so i think they could still be considered local. but then again, if they have three separate locations (that i know about!) does that make them a franchise? did i just support big business???? i don't want my burrito bucks boosting big burrito!

either way, i think you've begun a healthy discourse and caused me to engage my long dormant critical thinking skills. good for you!

Good point! I need a stove that I can heat with gopher pelts.

i happen to have one! if only you were local, we could arrange a trade (and i need gopher pelts, too!)

[yeahwho]

That's it, I'm making Yellow Ribbon magnets with Gophers sticking their pretty little heads outta the middle of 'em.

We've just reset the bar for the "War on Terror".
