re: Why are we not going after the problem on overtime? Because nobody has defined the problem as a part of the "war on terror". And becoming energy independent is the most effective way to "wage war" on terrorism <rather than fund it>.

We cannot kick the oil habit in the short run The problem is we are not even trying. There is no structured plan with objectives and goals. There has been no attempt to encourage voluntary conservation among Americans. Instead, Congress agreed to increase subsidies to the oil industry. Why do you continue to excuse this administration and its Congress? They have done very little right in the past six years? And they have done very little to help the energy crisis other than to start wars. Then you wonder why people are angry and rude with you.
