Let me spell it out for you. Bush-Cheney are ex oil executives and plainly they are very loyal to their old industry. Since they were first nominated, $22 oil has turned into $70 oil. Now there are many-many other corrupt schemes that have been perpetrated since that time, but that fact alone should wake you up. Because there is all kinds of evidence from Enron to Prince Bandar's statement in the White House to the fact OPEC claims there is no oil shortage which proves that the majority of the $48 a barrel differential is pure gouging and manipulation by the oil industry as a whole. And as Bill O'Reilly says, they are a monopoly when working together and they are a cartel. That $48 per barrel alone, extrapolated across the globe over an eight year period presents the biggest-ever ripoff in world history. It also connects directly with the Iraq War. Halliburton and the Bush-Cheney priority to dismantle environmental protection, promote gas guzzling and poo-poo global warming. Some of it also finances terrorism. This matter alone is and has been a clear and present danger to the fiscal security of the United States. And the Republican party amd others are guilty of going along with it and not even asking questions. it is outrageous and it needs to be thoroughly and completely investigated.

There is a much higher thing than politics and it is compassion and humanity. Let us not as a society interfere in the Schiavo family situation. Let us give them their right and the privacy they need. Instead let us convene a special session of Congress to help those who need our help. It is not the Schiavo's who need help. It is the people of NO and the people of Baghdad who need our help. The Muslims, the Arabs, the downtrodden in our society (African Americans). And we have failed them all. Where is your American pride? Where is acceptance of responsibility?
