I honestly stated a bias that I have and I was compared to Pol Pot. I have been told that I am clueless. I have been told that what I describe as real is just in my imagination - just in the past week - just in this thread. I have tried to give an example of why a Tea Party conservative like me and other average Joe's finds the movement attractive to have that dismissed out of hand. So, then I start to have some fun - I think condescension, as of form of arrogance is counter-productive - but at this point in these interactions no one has an open mind.

It's no wonder you find it entertaining. You're completely insane, but you've convinced yourself that your particular delusions are proof that you're the only sane person.

I don't think that is what I wrote, but I can admit I am wrong, I can tell you when I have an agenda and what it is, I can respond to direct questions, I can enjoy responding to posts even when they make personal attacks, I can proudly say what I am - a free market capitalist pig, I try to understand myself and others, I understand my biases and can admit them openly. Not many here can say the same.

How does one act like they're in charge anyways? I suspect you'll complain no matter what happens, you just like to complain for complainings sake.

So, why did Obma spend the majority of his news conference yesterday needing to explain the he was in charge?
Of course as usual totally ignore this question, give it no though and please tell me about how clueless I am - that just never gets old.

A smart person would have had it drilled at the same time, it's purpose is to relieve pressure if there is a blowout is it not? Even starting it 2-3 days afterwards, it would still take 2-3 months to finish, so the damage is already done, that's a concept you can't seem to grasp, or are just I don't know, that is if the platform could be brought to the location and prepared to start drilling within this '2-3 days'.

You take the position that there are no "smart" people involved in the decisions to drill in the Gulf including those in government who allow it? You may be 100% correct, I don't know for certain at this point, I just find it hard to accept - that is my point.

Please direct me to the posts where you describe what you would have done to first, prevent this accident, second, respond to it?
