Taking some of these things to the extreme, how many trees have been cut

Hmmm.... I always heard these circular bits of logic frequently return to
bite one in ones backside... This in particular is going to require further
contemplation.

Mine's pretty low tonight, stayed in and drank maxwell house made in the

(My favorite bumper sticker, which I've got stuck to my Yakima roof box, is
from Gates Lodge, and concerns the Mason Tract drilling: "We won't fish in
your oil well if you don't drill in our trout stream!")

And do you fail to see the irony in, or expect that anyone should take
seriously, a _bumper_ sticker bitching about oil wells? BTW, is that
roof box actually on (or for) the roof of anything? It's pretty hard to
take a "not in MY backyard" argument seriously when the presenter is
dressed in polyester (or other such manmade material) and making their
pitch from the hood of an SUV. Petroleum products are strictly a
supplied-on-demand item, and currently, demand is ahead of supply.
Heck, there is essentially no marketing done or necessary for them (as
generics - of course, there is brand marketing) - even the salesiest ad
agencies can't figure a way to make a pitch...it's like Chris Rock's bit
about crack dealers: "You ain't never heard a crack dealer say, 'Now how
am I gonna sell all this crack!?'"...
