Its like saying a 300 lb guy is entitled to eat three times the calories that I do because he makes twice as much money per year as I do. I guess he can.........but it's still gluttony. Bad analogy. Perhaps you'd feel differently if the 300 lb guy is responsible for producing the subsistence for, say, 10 families. Then, by damned, if wants to eat Wendys triples with cheese, you'll damned well allow it. When we're taking care of the rest of the world, it would seem that we should be permitted to use a little more oil than others. What I said is that it was gluttony and what you said does not change that fact. And we also average nearly three cars per family, a couple of recreational vehicles...boat, snowmobile etc; at least one SUV plus maybe a dirt bike.........I mean we have more toys that consume more oil than is necessary period. So what? Is there some reason we should NOT have these things? Is there some reason we should NOT be allowed to take advantage of the wealth we have created? Oh, oh......did I hit a nerve? Sorry about that.....take a couple aspirins, you'll feel better in the AM. The liberal agenda is to take away our freedom. Our freedom to spend our money any way we'd like (unless it is paying more taxes, of course). You position is blatently consistent with that agenda. That's right.......no more rape, plundering and thieving. Time to accept there are limitations. Its a sh*tty world and the liberals try to make it as unpleasant as possible. ted
