Again, I wish you were right. Arming and deploying a suicide bomber is pretty
cheap - cheap enough that no oil money is really needed. What did 9/11 cost the
Islamic Jihad? A few $1000?
The main threat comes from the religious fanatics not the oil sheiks. The hard
core, like bin Ladin and company, yearn for "the good old days" when Islam
controled all of Africa, part of Europe including Spain, et al. Heartened by
their success against the USSR in Afghanistan their first goal is to
re-establish that Califate, then to conquer the rest of the world. That'd be
bad enough if they were just maniacs like Stalin or Hitler but they are far
worse - they are religious extremists who thought tthe Taliban were too
liberal!!
They do not like the oil barons because they do not willingly give the oil money
to support this radical jihad. Worse yet they allow their women to read. Bush
would like to tie Saddam to bin Ladin to justify his blunder but the fact is
they are bitter enemies like Hitler and Stalin. Bin Ladin had called for
Saddam's murder and the oil sheiks are terrified of them.
Money wise, they are much like our home grown terrorists - the ones who bomb
abortion clinics out of misguided religeous zeal. There's a hard core,
supported financially and morally by a huge less-fanatical group much like the
Methodist and other churchs quietly support U.S. anti-gun cranks like the Brady
Bunch. Look how much Christianity is exported without any oil money. So if we
could somehow magically quit buying middle-eastern oil the jihad would still go
on, just as Christian prothelization goes on. It's very dangerous to think this
enemy are a bunch of stupid ragheads who depend on oil. Some of the criminally
insane are quite intellegent, and therefore twice dangerous. Like child
molesters, there is only one way to deal with them.
Bottom line is we may as well enjoy mid-east oil while we can.

I think he is talking about radon. Radon is known to come out of the ground
here. It makes sense that it would be in the coal too. It can be a problem
if you decide to convert your basement into finished living quarters.

Everybody turns down the damper so that the flame will last all night, not
just yuppies. And not everyone can get decent fuel. Out here, people call
aspen "hardwood" and mostly burn fir. There is no substitute for annual
inspection of any wood burning flue. Oak and black locust, free for the
taking at the orchard I used to work for, I miss that.

Everybody turns down the damper so that the flame will last all night, not

taking at the orchard I used to work for, I miss that.
