I agree with Chris here, i doubt anybody in Washington/the UN/Baghdad/anywhere where any decision making is taking place, cared much about the Greek readings today. Also, I will point out that like Tom, I do not consume much oil. I think we'd all be better off if we all followed Lance Armstrong's example and bicycled around and took public transportation. These days, I have been walking or taking the bus to class, and also carpooling or taking trains back to Toronto. Now, you may just accuse me of living the cheap, poor student lifestyle of somebody who doesn't own a car, but I say that I am just being environmentally concious. I will say, I wish there were an alternate to the issue of oil, but I would like to point out that we live in a royally scrwed up society, where in fact, bottled water (in some cases bottled tap water) costs more per litre than gasoline and is subject to less stringent government regulation than the tap water we get. With all the fuss raised over oil in the middle east, imagine what will happen one day when the world has a water shortage, and the only people left with water are the middle east, protecting al lthe water that has been stored in various cacti over the centuries. Of course, this will cause the US to develop new "smart bombs." Weapons designed to harm all civilian and military life forms - except Cacti.

In a similar vein and on a more serious note, as a public service announcement, I don't know if any of you guys pratice this, but recent studies show that plastic mineral water bottles (like evian) are not designed to be used more than once and if you do use them over and over, the plastic begins to slough off and you start drinking toxic stuff in, so remember, don't reuse!
