Now that our new enemy is the Middle East and it's oil kingpins Uhmm, the oil kingpins are US allies. The "enemies" are the Islamofascists.

>You might be right about the USSR. Nothing stokes the fires of competition like a big old enemy to galvanize a nation. It's not even that -- it's because people like Tench get to say things like "Communism killed 50 million people." >In 2006, the car with the highest sales in America, the Camry, will start being sold with a hybrid option. That is a watershed event, because it brings hybrids into the mainstream. Like the Accord and the Civic aren't mainstream already? >The Prius has been a considered a novelty and its sales are through the roof. Can you imagine what the Camry Hybrid will do to this industry? I predict that Hybrid sales are going to really explode starting next year when the Camry Hybrid comes out. Depends on the pricing. -Z

You might be right about the USSR. Nothing stokes the fires of competition like a big old enemy to galvanize a nation. That is my secret hope. Now that our new enemy is the Middle East and it's oil kingpins, maybe that will stoke the fires of innovation around technologies to get us off the oil once and for all. Dude, there are Americans dying so that your secret hope can be realized. There are people horribly maimed who must live the rest of their lives without an arm or a leg or an ear so you can realize your dream.......a nation without the need for oil. I am curious...........does their deaths and impairments make any impression on you? Do they have impact on your thinking at all?
