Either that or they want a return of the Hitler youth to make them feel good about their lives.

Pitiful isn’t it.

THERE ARE ALWAYS TAXES IN CIVILIZED SOCIETIES

GET OVER IT, OR MOVE TO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE NO TAXES

and you sheep have no patriotism. Shame on you for allowing the oil billionaires to rob the citizenry in a time of war. Shame on you, you filthy pig.

damn, you are stupid on a championship level.

I have seen that guy, it’s awesome.

You are so right. We’d have been energy independent years ago if Carter’s plan, which for the most part was enacted, hadn’t been dismantled by the Reagan admn.

And the hostage situation was “world affairs”. It’s too bad that the voters were hoodwinked by Reagan. And here they were hoodwinked again by Bush. Show how gullible the American public can be.

Much of this could have been resolved if we’d invested more in public transit in the first place, but I get defensive about people suggesting that there is something wrong with mass transit. It doesn’t suck. At least, it doesn’t have to, depending on where you are and how much foresight has been used.

Of course, I work for a public transit agency, so I am prejudiced, but a lot of people are moving to places like Portland specifically because a car isn’t required. If people start thinking ahead and starting planning not only communities but their own lives, a lot of what we think of as “essential” could be done without — like a private automobile, or the sort of households that have more automobiles than they have drivers.

World affairs? I think it was more like reagun trading with the enemy to undermine a sitting president in an American military effort to free the hostages.

Comment by VA Voter

I think we should pass a law that allows us to sue people like you who voted for this. We knew it was going to happen…….why didn’t you?

Thanks for the laugh!!!

Ho ho! I’ve been in the store in Portland and talked to the people there about possibly using electric cars at work. Judging from their response, the current versions (built in China) are well-suited for very local service in an urban environment, but in addition to the speed restriction (imposed in part because they lack standard safety equipment like airbags) they have a fairly limited travel distance before they need to be recharged.

Best thing in the store were the little Zappy scooters, which they’re promoting primarily for use in warehouses. Amazingly fast and very easy to ride. And fun!

First of all, it’s not a solar energy shield- that’s ‘Star Trek’ or maybe Ray-Guns magical ‘Star Wars’ missle sheild- those are both fairy tales.
Wind farms and solar energy panels are a REAL solution to the energy crisis that get better and better everyday… but no one is suggesting that this is the ONLY solution for energy production.
Like most intoxicants, Natural gas and Oil are fine in moderation but you guys are on a binge! Time to investigate other methods of power production- site specific methods, like perhaps tide generators that would take advantage of those hurricanes? Let’s diversify our energy options, make sense?

Have you considered simple lifestyle changes to decrease demand until such time as a more viable solution is available to you?

Had to give you a recommend on #67! Visionary indeed! ;)

We could be on our way to the greatest ecconomic boom ever seen if we had just taken that other path 7 short years ago…

Man, now I’m depressed. Why is this so hard for the rest of this country to see?
