Lane3;

but I would also be explicitly ashamed of passing along debt

Then you surely were a Ron Paul fan as I was. There is no one who has argued against deficit spending on this board as much as I have - so this argument is way off track. You want to see debt - look at the Bush and republicans policy. Since when have we seen debt accumulation as under Reagan/Bush/Bush? Since when have we seen such oil friendly administrations?

Every dime the government spends on GW is a dime not spent on reducing crime or some other cost to society.

Well how simple is that then! We tax the crap out of oil and use that money on crime. Your arguments leave my head spinning trying to catch up.

We're just doing some ad hoc paddling at the margins in a general direction that we think might help with a future GW problem.

Yup - and that is why some of us think we ought to try to catch the train before it leaves the station. Providing of course we don't know for sure it has because we sure don't know where GW is. (I better tell you I'm kidding with you here)
