Re: Relevance?

Dear Counsel.Net Friends,

Someone asked the relevance of my posting about the price of
gasoline to either Counsel.Net, or to the Business Law section of
Counsel.Net. The answer is that down here in South Louisiana we
are right in the big middle of the oil-patch, as well as the
stepping-off point for off-shore exploration and production. The
higher the price of oil and gasoline go, the more exploration and
production take place. Can't explore and produce oil without oil
and gas lawyers to examine titles, draw leases and divison orders,
among other things, and to litigate mineral rights. Only place to
post such information relating to oil and gas law, as I saw it,
was on the Business Law section of Counsel.Net. As for
communicating with Bush about the oil and gas industry, Bush has
roots deep in Southwest Louisiana, as his father was once
president of Zapata-Haynie, headquartered in Cameron, the number
one fishing port in the Nation and the mouth of the Calcasieu Ship
Channel leading to the biggest petro-chemical complex in the
world. Bush knows us Cajuns and listens to us. That's why we want
him to keep lowering the price of gasoline before the election.
As Carville would say, "It's the price of gasoline, stupid!" Bush
sees that, and he's listening to what I told him, and that is to
get the oil companies to lower the price of gasoline before the
election. It dropped ten cents just last week, and continues to
drop. Of course, once Bush wins re-election, it's pay back time
for the oil companies; and the price of gasoline will soar to
$3.00 a gallon in a few weeks following the election. If he does
not get the price down, which I am sure he will, it's all over for
him. Of course, we do not want to lose him. As I say, he listens
to us Cajuns, for he has roots deep in Southwest Louisiana. Why
do you think Cheney and Scalia came down here duck-hunting
recently? Bush has been here too.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Oil and Gas Attorney
(among other things)
Lake Charles and New Orleans
