Here and Across the Pond
Why is it that every time our friends across the pond get mad at some country, they drag us in as well? Like we don’t have enough problems of our own. It is bad enough that most of Europe does not like us because we keep the pound and not the Euro.
We have had enough fights in our time and the country has already been bombed to hell and back so what happened to taking care of your own business? Being allies and such is great for well being, some freedoms and imports /exports but it’s getting pretty expensive to keep trying to be a good mate and wiping your noses every time you bleed.
The Common People
We are all English, one way or another (although we have better beer) but that should not mean the very people that make up our two worlds need to keep trying to fight the rest of the world for oil and dominance over everyone else.
Yes we share some common interest, but so do lots of countries that we do business with. But that is on a governmental interest and the lives of our people should be dedicated to raising our families and getting along with each other.
The people of both our countries have very little say in how things are actually done, even though they give us a token vote but perhaps it is getting time for another kind of revolution.
Let’s quit using oil.
Not Going To Happen – It Is In the Oil
That is a very simple statement but not very practical. Both our countries are heavily invested in HPHT drilling because of our very need to produce some of our own oil instead of totally relying on imports for our needs.
We didn’t get together soon enough to realize that the boat that we are all in is going to sink. Unless we keep spending money and lives just trying to fight other countries for the right to have this commodity; a resource that there is plenty of – but the countries that have it are now in position to charge what they want, we will always be in turmoil.
The HPHT drilling process is being used worldwide, however it is not making the cost of oil and fuel any less expensive. Our mates across the pond want to control all the oil, drag us into their fight and we must oblige or we sink before they do.
