Fred letter

 While you and I are debating the realities of oil, the middle east etc, I'm afraid that the far greater threat is environmental disastersuch as global warming etc. In other words, if these threats (which are now in motion) really happen, there will come the time when we look back upon the present as "the good old days." In other words, we won't have to destroy each other because nature will do it for us. FRED
