X-Message-Number: 23141 From: Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2003 21:50:07 +0000 Oil running out? In 1920, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated 20 billion barrels remained in the world. By A.D.2000, the estimate had grown to 3,000 billion! Tar sands in Canada & South America contain 600 billion. Worldwide, shale could provide 14,000 billion barrels! Ignore the R&D's...keep buying S.U.V.'s. For gun control? The following is from a report commissioned by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (usually a gun control booster). It announced that the report failed to find evidence that gun control works! It considered 51 published studies examining seven different kinds of laws including bans on specific firearms, restrictions on who may own a firearm and waiting periods. I include these tid-bits to annoy the statist among us. I repeat: Politics should be important to cryonicist and only the Libertarian Party respects our rights!!
