Are you into some kind of wacky tobacky, or did you take some of that Demerol I have been recommending?<<< Ted, have you ever heard the statement, "People in glass houses shouldn't be out throwing stones." GW has publicly stated that we should put in a oil exploration and drilling plan, as well as we should be saving the reserve for an emergency, not depleting it. While this plan is limited and not nearly enough, it is a start. Als plan is to waste the reserve now so he can get elected, the hell with the future of the reserve. This is the exact opposite of what you said last week; which is that this country is facing a energy crisis because we are running out of oil and needs to start conserving energy and developing alternate energy. Driving down energy prices, while popular, encourages energy waste and adds to smog. Instead of making fun of GW's energy plan, maybe you ought to look at how intelligent Al's plan is. You can't expect any one person or group of people to correct the problem overnite. Its too bad.<< I don't expect the problem to correct itself overnight, and neither do you. But we will have to face the problem of replacing cheap oil eventually. A leader who always chooses the easy way out isn't going to get it done. But that is the trouble with the election process, as a candidate who tells the truth never gets elected. Its is too bad as I expect this country,without effective leadership, to become a mediocre country. PS, I apologize to Scumbria for misspelling his name. I hope he doesn't think I was trying to imitate Paul, and intentionally misspelling his name.
