Ted, Please show me where my posts don't reflect my education with the only caveat that you exclude my one liners with harris and shortie. That very post where you asked me to act like a guy with a 4-year Ivy League education. Besides, Cornell Engineering doesn't teach much political history anyway. The closest would be the PowerPC vs. Pentium debates of my time. ;-) Come on........you want me to ferret out specific legislation? No, that's OK. I'm pretty sure Clinton/Gore did indeed propose measures to help us move away from oil, but that was when it was convenient to do to. Should they have been passed to avert the current crises? Probably, but that's "coulda shoulda woulda" stuff. I'm talking about when it comes time to make painful decisions. Some on this thread think that the recession following the dot-com bust should have been prolonged. Yeah right, as if any politician would ever be for that. Same thing with oil. Easy to talk a tough game when it comes to conservation, but when prices rise, the politicians are going to cower to the demands of their constituents who care more about how much they spend at the pump than about "Day After Tomorrow" doomsday scenarios.
