  2. How many more joy rides are taking place right now? that is the question. To sit and to say that these people have less worth than our families is just atrocious. Makes me very angry. My best friend from when I was a young boy died in Iraq. When I see things like this I feel like putting my head through a wall.

  3. I cant believe you said that. same here. Hard habit. It is kind of hard when you grow up on it. When I eat at my mothers and I tell her I am stopping eating meat she looks at me like I am crazy and asks me, "what crazy shit are you reading now"? :D

    The obvious answer to all of this mess is to get Ron Paul elected. He is the only one who is vouching to actually clean up this mess and has the record to show for it.

  9. First of all, the federal government & the states have been spending significant money on renewable energy & oil independence.

    Second of all, it is not that simple. Business interests have to be satisfied, but even without that problem, there are serious logistical challenges behind transitioning from an oil economy to a [fill in the blank] economy.

    And I'm sure that 516$ BILLION!!!!!!!!!! would take us a giant leap towards completing that logistical challenge..........
