- A refreshing fall day
- The cold war was over
- Democracies were popping up all over the globe
- Gas was under a buck fifty a gallon
- Despite our 2000 election, optimism was running rampant
- The www was blossoming, giving the oppressed their first ever view of the freedoms other’s enjoyed
- It was a glorious time to be alive
Gas was under a buck fifty a gallon!
The oppressed were getting their first ever view of the freedoms other’s enjoyed
Not a glorious time for the Saudis and their cartel partners
Nor the drug pushers of the oil industry
Or the slavers of young teen brides
The question of the day in Riyadh was, how can we double our profits, stop this foolhardy spread of freedoms and help authoritarians back to power?
