Lucas Frances, You made a mistake.  You read past the title on a Wohlforth article about the oil industry or the economy.  You wasted 2 minutes of your life reading illogical blather.  And you wasted an hour writing this article.  Wohlforth can write well about health care or down and out, gay, homeless gypsies.  But his hatred towards the real world makes his diatribes on oil and the Alaskan economy not worth reading.  Don't read his garbage.
