[url=http://smashingtelly.com/2007/01/16/robert-newman-the-history-of-oil/]Part stand up comedy, part lecture. A fascinating and entertaining look at the history of oil. Did you know, for example, that the first troops deployed in the First World War were to Iraq.
Running time: 46 mins.[/url]
Very entertaining - and educational - look at the last century and the wars that have been "popularized" regarding oil resources.

Well...new to me.
And I don't see any luddite sensibilities. It seems he's talking about the problem of lying government and business interests towards oil....not putting us back in the stone age.
