    Correction: Houston is the FOURTH largest metropolitan area in the U.S., not the sixth.

    Houston has done a great job of diversifying their economy. Bringing so much talent and intelligence seems to be working. I wish we could get some talent and intelligence in DC and save our economy. It is so insulting for Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi constantly put down the honest hardworking men and women in the petroleum industry for political gain and financial reward from enviromental lobbyists. it is dishonest.

    As the world's resources are strectched, and national economies adjust, Houston, Texas, and America will continue to float to the top. Americans are the most resilient, inventive, and self-reliant people on the planet. Every change to the world's economic status quo is just another opportunity for America to increase its market share and position of power. Politicians - stay out of the way!

      Blah blah blah. Are you reciting the catechism of your personal religion?

We Americans are the most resilient, inventive, and self-reliant people on the planet. Every bump in the world's status quo is just an opportunity for America to increase its market share and position of power. Politicians - Get out of the way!
