I blame the worlds problems squarely on Manama. Shame on the Manamaians.

I believe that to have already happened quite a few times:noid
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety

If it was my invention, NO WAY I would sell it to ANY oil company for the very reason you stated.

What happened to all those inventions (mostly different types of carburetors) that had cars getting 150 - 200 mpg? I remember reading about some of them in Popular Science.....or maybe it was Popular Mechanics....

Does anyone else not get fed up with all the vulchers from various countries in the Middle east buying up our politicians and spoon feeding us garbage? Thing is, despots like the Saudis know all about Petro dollars and hold us to ransom (In a nice way of course)
Something doesn't add up in my book, who's protecting these Saudis and why? If we had a regime change there then the oil would still flow, so why the quiet over the Saudi regime?
