Tenchusatsu, Actually, I have now decided that this is a politically brilliant move for Gore, if you subscribe to the very liberal point-of-view. It shows that he "cares". Also, I don't know if you noticed, the president decided to spend almost half a billion to encourage more energy consumption among the low income people: dailynews.yahoo.com How could this be? Releasing oil reserves to encourage cheap oil and more driving, discouraging conservation by subsidizing additional energy consumption. I guess are the Clinton-Gore environmentalist team has been kidnapped buy the evil big oil companies, and replaced by one of their Republican puppets. Joe

Now you get it! IF they had considered that bombing Iraq MIGHT have precipitated an oil crisis, they could have done something several years ago. (So much for the "smart advisors" theory) That would have been PROACTIVE. REACTIVE is better=proves to people that big govt. is good, and saves people from responsibility. Take credit for finding a problem or crisis, )even if you created it by act/omission or incompetance) Then take credit for a solution, even if it doesn't work. Remember our hero Richardson, and the "low prices by april" story - that the press has yet to question?? How about "better" education = more college degrees, yet many of these grads can not read or write ??? I'll leave you with one more example - the violent crime rate has been dropping for several years now, yet NOW we must hire 100,000 more police to deal with a situation "they" already take credit for solving. :) BTW, does the cost of these new police pass directly to the states after a period of time ???? End of rant, JohnD
