Joe Dees shared the following:
"Another broad aim is to increase energy supplies from diverse
sources; from oil and gas, renewables, coal, hydro and nuclear.
This
is the kind of balanced approach we think is essential if we're
going
to meet the country's energy needs down the road and take care of
many
of our other concerns, especially with respect to the environment."
-- Vice President Dick Cheney, U.S. Energy Association Efficiency Forum Washington, D.C., June 13, 2001" A really entertaining piece of hypocrisy.How interesting to see that you value this Virian sin in your so-called "prophet", Joe. Do you have any more examples of this kind of banal sinful behavior which you want to offer for the heroic charge it imbues you with?Feel free to keep to yourself next time. [Joe2] Actually, I made no comment upon Cheney's connections with Halliburton, but I do note that a veterinarian would not be in a position of knowledge with respect to power grids, and further note that not only dod Cheney predict the problems that the northeast power grid recently suffered, but also if the private companies who own it had followed his advice and built better safeguards and redundancy into the system, the entire travesty might well have been averted. [Jake2] Actually you ONLY commented on Cheney as a prophet (re subj line) when you shared this. The rest of it was a simple cut and paste, as you rarely speak or write for yourself competently much anymore these days. And the above excerpt had nothing to do with power grids. Keep up with the conversation, Joe. I'm tired talking to the new memebot-Joe. Cheney didn't exactly invite any environmentalists to his secret smoked filled room meetings right before he and his Enron friends decided to fuck up the west coast power for his personal financial gain. (hypocrisy) But Ken Lay was certainly very welcome. So does this man speak for you now, Joe? A prophet . . . I see. You must volunteer for minionhood rather easily. I suppose you can join Ken Lay and his other disciples, and start a real religious crusade to put the whole country (minus Texas) in the dark. There could be some real money in that kind of piracy. I hear that a lot of former Arthur Anderson employees can help y'all with the accounting. They don't seem to be good for any other kind of honest accounting these days and can probably use the work, criminal though it may be. Whatever sort of expertise Cheney may have in power grids, he obviously hasn't exercised it to actually create anything worthwhile, except to show that he is capable of turning off the power when he really wants to leave liberals who will never vote for him in the dark. Maybe if Florida doesn't look like it is going their way in the next election, they can turn off the power there too, just in case those aging Floridians can't get with new authoritarian program.
