If it is a question that has a pretty obvious answer or perhaps has been asked before, then I really do not mind. In this case, it just looks like someone was trying to answer for you so you did not have to wait for me to chime in.
Like I said, the initial post might not have been purely political in nature, but sure had political undertones (references as to why the drilling in the US is not happening) and then the rest of the posts were purely political.
Sorry it got yanked, but sometimes that's just the way life goes.
