Joseph saw 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of devastation, so he prepared during the good times for the bad ones to come. Wouldn’t it be "wise" for us to increase the supply of oil reserves to meet the demand thus lowering the cost to us? Is any other view really being "for" the middle and lower class of any nation? Aren’t consumer price increases directly tied to the price of fuel? Who do these increases hurt the most? Yes, let’s get free from dependence upon foreign oil, but should we make so many suffer in the process? How many middle and lower class citizens will ever see Anwar? Aren’t these hurricanes like Joseph’s sign, and we’d better prepare for the drought ahead?
Why can’t we do BOTH; drill for the fuel required by the vehicles owned by those who can’t afford anything else, and search for ALL means of alternative fuel types as though our lives depended upon it? Just as Joseph did in his day.
Haynes 08, Joseph was very political, and you would have known it had you been truly wise, and we do LEARN from past mistakes, even in politics. At least, that would be refreshing!!
Edit B, Your wisdom is shining, and yes, jobs effect the lower and middle class citizens, and plenty of jobs could be made right at home if our leaders would just learn from Joseph.
Mikkiros…, you are right and glad you love the bible, but don’t forget who is in control of "mother nature". She doesn’t control God, but rather, God controls her, so don’t fear.
