Talk to the Brits then. That is where it comes from.

You know...those guys who ruled us and we molded our government after them???

Nuclear energy is actually pretty safe, minus the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny risk of Chernobyl #2 ;)

Hmm... I don't think that Bush is going to be hosting any fund raisers for the oil drillers any time soon :)

I think that's fair to say. With how many nukular reactors there are around the world, how many have had issues?

Yeah? With the likes of Alito on the court?

They usually don't overturn fairly recent precedent, and I don't think the conservatives will support expanding the power of the executive.

I disagree - the main reason for opposing Alito was his deference to executive power. Although his position might change if a Democrat president were exceeding his power.

If you can cut your consumption of oil significantly enough that you can supply yourself without relying on unstable regions, that's good enough for me!

So we're going to increase American competitiveness while simultaneously cutting tens of billions of funding for higher education?

Rrrrrrright.
