Nope. My point is above. I would elaborate, but I just don't know how I could explain it any more plainly than I already have.

Your point is if we drill enough to supply us with oil, we will not have to depend on anyone else!! |
No, that wasn't my point. But feel free to take another guess.

Again, I'm not sure who you are debating. If you don't like 1920, then pick 1981 (the height of the oil shock). In 2003, the real price of gas (adjusting for inflation and taxes) was 26% lower than in 1981.
Your claim was that the price of gas "never drops lower than the last significant increase". Obviously it does.

Sorry I didn’t take into account invisible numbers, and the imaginary math, that hid the fact that I had a surplus even though I was paying more?? |
I was simply adjusting prices for inflation. I didn't realize this "abstract" concept would frighten and confuse you. And here I was going to show you how to make fire without rubbing 2 sticks together, but I think I'd better refrain.

Do you believe no judge has ever made a decision based on other beliefs other than the “law”?
|
…you believe no judge, in the history of the US judicial system, has ever been swayed, for any reason other than the letter of the law??? |
Yep, I did. You caught me. I skirted your question. Ignored it completely as a matter of fact.
I might be wrong, but I think you're looking for a "no" answer. Okay let's say I answer no. How is this proof of your conspiracy theory, that Big Oil owns the Supreme Court?

It hasn't changed...
