The initial remark was about US importing oil from S. America, not the rest of the f'n world, to which you in turn threw up a series of numbers that had NO explaination behind them. Did you or did you not do this? Just answer the simple question I've just posed.
You come off like a sportscaster given the nightly sports scores: 12 to 18, 38 to 13, 108 to 82...
...guess what? This tells one NOTHING, which is about the only thing you've been constantly been able to accomplish in the entire trainwreck of information you've tried to provide.
So, now in this latest barrage of trash from you, you state that the initial numbers you presented come from the DOE, then not a half-page down in the SAME thread you state that you don't TRUST or BELIEVE the DOE numbers. Which is it? What's your point in referencing something to strengthen your argument when you BLATANTLY state that you don't trust the source or the validity of the data that they provide?
Also, you are forgetting the US refineries that dot the gulf coast and are in the interior. Being capital intensive enterprises that they are and the number of US refinereies that have been shut down through the years, yes we do depend on foreign entities to do a significant fraction of refining. Canada does do a large amount of refining, but they ALSO do a tremendous amount of crude oil production, which you've totally tried to glass over.
This bait and switch routine is getting rather old...
