You're right... Dubbya only a puppet, put there by the hands that be so they can make money... it's not really Dubbya's fault, after all, he's an idiot.

Let me ask you some very simple questions, give me the answer to these and I'll vote for Dubbya come November.

1. What would/could/should Dubbya be doing for the country, if the diversion that be 9/11 hadn't happen? In order to get people to focus on something else besides performance, there has to be a castastrophic event. (now, now, this is my take, you come up with your own answer)

2. How much money do you think private sectors made? (companies that benefited from the so call "war", you know, food and equipments for the troops, gas for the tanks, airplanes, carriers, bullets and beans, etc... you get my point.)

3. Did Saddam (scape goat) or Osama ever worked for the US?

4. Peripheral vision, intuition, and logic; I just want the meanings of these words. (and look up for WMD while you're at it, no pun intended)

Oh... and most of the munitions that were dumped on Afghanistan are from the Vietnam era, fitted with new and improve guidance. They have a shelve life you know... something gotta go so "we" (not you and I, of course), can make new weapons...


Call me an ignurd bastage..... but I'll be damn if I don't stop and think for a minute.

It's a patch. It's not like gas is going to be $5/gallon this year and stay there. The US needs to retool their use of energy to something that isn't so finite, and in the control of others.

It's a no win situation. Automobile companies do not want to spend more money on products that do not sell. Americans do not want to buy "underpowered" vehicles.

Perhaps developing a vehicle that runs on soy bio-diesel...

Well, he is right, the president does not have much control over the price of gasoline.

It already is ~$2 a gallon in Cali and here in AZ.

I think that is a horrendously poor argument. I use a lot more gas than i do bottled water, milk or orange juice. I use a gallon of gas just driving to work in the morning. I don't drink a gallon of any of those other products in the course of a week. (I don't drink bottled water, reverse osmosis system in our house).

Man, if you invest in something as big as treason (stealing election), you've got to benefit from it somehow. The monkey doesn't have control, but its owner does.

Of course, I am not saying they are the same. Just a point of reference. But as I said before, oil/gasoline is a limited resource, we have to find a way to make it last longer or other alternative resources (sun/wind,ect). Unless we will find more oil later, our children/grandchildren will pay for our indecisions.

For the record, I am not a Greenpeace activist or know any of them.

Gotcha. So many people use that as an argument and I get tired of it. ;)

I definitely agree with finding alternative resources.
