He went to college, so yeah, another liberal leftwing ideologe, Timmay.

Of course anybody who says anything Siege doesn't agree with is a left wing ideologue to him.

I would hate everybody but that is too much effort.  Instead I hate kids in my yard.

The US army has corrupted him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Just another leftwing ideologue, ain't he Hans.

No he's a CEO of an energy company that has made enormous investments in gas exploration and production.
That means he has an interest in promoting a regulatory and tax regime that treates gas more favorably than coal.  And that means he has an interest in promoting the view that global warming is an issue that should be addressed (which would imply support for cleaner burning natural gas vs. coal) but not in such a strong way as to require a carbon tax or serious action to reduce usage of all fossil views.  Which by very happy coincidence is exactly the view he is promoting.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.
