A marked increase in the volume of crude on tankers that have yet to signal a final destination makes the task of monitoring Russia’s exports more complicated, but most of those vessels end up in India, with a smaller number heading further east to China.

"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are"That's a well-known exhortation by the late President Theodore Roosevelt.

The Good Citizen outlines some ways in which each and every one of us can defy the Nanny State that's trying to overwhelm our independence and individuality. In doing so, we'll also be following Theodore Roosevelt's sage advice. But get on over to that voting booth ... read more
