And all this passes by the fact that well over 90% of all sexual crimes 
against minors is committed by a family member.

Leading to the United States having the highest incarnation rate of any 
country in the world.  Prisons are a huge business and they need a constant 
stream of input.

> James, Jack 2 is just one well. 

What may not be evident from all the chatter over Jack 2 is that the most 
ardent and optimistic cornucopian in the business doesn't think Jack 2 itself has 
that much oil in it or that it necesssarily commercially feasible oil in it 
at all.  The estimate of 15 billion isn't for the Jack 2 well alone, it is for 
the whole Tertiary ridge of which Jack 2 is a part.  

I know from the news hype people were left with the impression that a single 
well had been discovered which could supply the US with oil for years so all 
we have to do is poke around in there some more and we'd find more like that 
and we'd be set for hundreds of years.   Sorry, t'ain't so.  

Jack 2 isn't even a new discovery, it's only new hype applied to an old 
discovery.

For some real dope on Jack 2, I highly recommend this story:
