Oil is another root cause of our problems. The very fact that Bushites insist we remain reliant on it can only perpetuate and prolong putting too much power and money into the hands of people who hate us (not to mention corrupt forces which Enron represents). Because Islamics are now totally irrational and brain-washed to blame us for everything, the more we remain reliant on oil, the more we sustain those enemies' funding, arms and power. Since we can never produce enough oil for ourselves no matter how many wilderness areas in Alaska or coastlines we devastate, it's simply time to make plans to gradually get off the stuff. It's going to run out in the next 40 years or so anyway so time to elect leaders not beholden to Big Oil and get on with the job we all know we must complete. As I've said before, the price we pay for gas can't be measured by the money we pay at the pump. Add in much of our defence budget, world-wide environmental degradation and a lot more and the price doubles or triples in real, but indirect, dollar terms. If it weren't for our reliance on oil, Bin Lauden the terrorist would not even exist. And neither would Saddam or those Saudis we can't trust anymore. Therefore isn't it ironic that Bush's boogey men (except for North Korea) are all direct products of his #1 love, OIL. We all can share the blame in that. Which is why it's time to use less, replace gas/oil with other fuels and elect leaders who have a cleaner greener vision of the future. Let's start with congressional elections this fall. Whatever we do we MUST stop the Bush energy plan. It's 180 degrees in the wrong direction. 1950's dinosaur head-in-the-sand mentality. Hopefully 40 years from now oil power will be viewed the same way horse-power was viewed. We must evolve and progress. That's why I call myself a progression. It's not lberal or conservative it's just realistic, responsible, honest and smart. It will also end up saving us trillions of dollars, enormous damage to the global environment, national security and otherwise unnecessary wars.
