[Coral-List] Coral Reef Curmudgeons

[Eugene Shinn]

Hey Steve, I may resemble those remarks. But no I don't think it is a 
good idea to have a separate blog where we can tear one another 
apart.. It would be like, as they say, preaching to the choir. It is 
better to do what we have been doing and keep trying to educate using 
science and logic. For a start I recommend lister's read John 
Hofmeister's book, "Why We Hate the Oil Companies" John's back ground 
is sociology yet he also served as the president of Shell Oil 
Company. It is most unusual for a not Engineer or Geologist to head 
up an oil company. His background and insights into "energy time" 
versus "political time" is a revelation. Readers should learn more 
about the energy depression for which we are headed. Gene
