..I am not discussing Dems or Reps; I am discussing effective and professional governance. In case you missed it, I am on the record as saying I do not find any of present DNC leaders worthy of presidency and would vote for the right Republican, if he is in the running. That sounds broad-minded. But when you engage in trashing of the Bush administration without coupling it with similar criticisms of Dems, you don't sound so broad-minded. It is a fact that if US had lower oil import needs, the global price of oil would have been lower. So energy reduction is a worthy goal that benefits the environment as well as the environment. Compared to the rest of the industrial world, US public transportation is a joke. Sure if we or anyone used less oil, ww demand would be lower and prices would be lower. None of this has anything to do with blaming the Bush adm for high prices. The cure for high prices is high prices. Similarly, while it is true that Katrina would have hit New Orleans regardless of who is in charge, it is also tue that the city would not have been lost had its levies and infrastructures been fortified and better prepared...but I guess construction is not as glorifying an activity as destruction and war, so it got little attention. And its infrastructure have been decades in the making.
