oil shock ?

  as much 
as green freaks
fantasize 
about choking off  
the mighty amerikan 
             smoke  monster


 seems
  the mother fucker   
can take an oil punch 
and keep on smokin
             better then ever 

======================================



 

for example 
 
" 25 years ago 

americans


1)  spent 8 percent
          of  household income
           on oil related  bills

 2) worked  102 minutes 
          on average  
          to pay  
           for a 100-mile  car trip 

 3) and total 
               energy costs
                 accounted
                  for 14 percent 
                       domestic    expenditures 

Today
  

1) Households  spend 
             about 5 percent
         of  income 
                 on  energy 

 2)  work  42 minutes  
to pay 
    for a 100-mile  car trip

3) and total   energy costs
             now  account
          for only
             7 percent
             of the American economy"

  the tally

 8% to 5%

102 hrs  to 42 hrs 

and

14% to 7 %


progress indeed .......



 except in 
        motor  transport

that remains oil based 

 
 "today 
        American drivers alone 
                       burn 11 percent
                      of the world's 
                       total   oil consumption "

--------------------------------------------------------
  rising oil prices 
        also benefit 

those lucky  americans 
   who own a piece 
  of our domestic 
            recoverable oil resources

n.b. unlike
   our first world rivals

 amerika the ugly 
              still  produces
                a huge amount of oil
