Idiots
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: democracy simply doesn't work".
- Kent Brockman in "Bart's Comet"
That's what I was thinking after reading this article. It's that wonderful time of the year again, when Congress hauls oil company executives down to explain how they have the audacity to make money.
Proving once again that politicians are usually idiots, House members complained that oil prices are too high and we should be developing alternative energy sources. It never dawns on them that high oil prices enable the development of alternative energy sources, which can't compete with $10 a barrel oil.
