Mr Straight Story showed me how to do something -
You should look at the post about "M-16s" - really -

Just follow the money - see the real oil reserves - cause that is where the money is man.

It has been true for some time.

And that is where it will almost certainly blow up.

I guess - if you think war is mostly about money it is.

I should have asked before how to do that - I didn't.

Maybe it is hard to understand - not to me - Dad ran an oil company - you get it?? That is WHERE the money is man. It is sorta about perception - Saddam allowed extensive development in the south - but that only means he thought he could control it.

Reserves were always in the north - and he couldn't trust those people.

But it is where the oil is too.

And right now - it is the wild, wild west up there.

Thank you for teaching me how to do that.

Joe

1. At this point, I'm taking your posts not as posts but as free verse poetry
I think they work better that way.

2. Ok - maybe you are right.
I think I am not the most articulate.

But not poetry - not me.

If I didn't think I was doing the right thing - I wouldn't say anything.

And I'd be happier.

Joe - I wish the best to you.

Understand - If I didn't know I did the right thing when it was necessary - I couldn't live with myself - I am pretty catholic that way. You know - guilt driven.

I know I said what had to be said. I have no guilt now.

3. You know - I actually read your link - I never insulted you.
How could you do that Bryant??

I go out of my way not to hurt anyone -

You can put me on ignore. In fact you can say what ever you want about me -

But that is chicken shit.

Joe

4. I responded - your posts consistantly hint at sense without quite reaching it

5. You know what - you may be right - I am screaming at the top of
my lungs - on the internet no less - about something that genuinely scares me.

And there are no words sometimes. I try anyway.

I type with one hand most of the time - and I am trying to get what I see in.

I am sorry Bryant - I hit your link and saw Simpsons stuff -

I would never equate that. I guess you didn't mean it that way.

But there is no poetry intended - it is a warning. That I mean word for word.

At least as I typed it in my mind.

I recognize I am terrible at this - I just pray the message goes thru though.

I have no problem with you man - maybe you did me a favor.
