How do you feel about opening up our offshore reserves for drilling so we can stop "stealing" from your arab buddies?

Thought so.

A radical notion but within a decade or two, we could stop dumping trillions of military dollars down some desert rat hole in the middle east to secure the energy we're stealing.

There's a huge hidden cost for energy that big oil would prefer you not think about. The $3 a gallon at the pump is only a fraction the cost we're subsidizing with our tax dollars.

Please explain "...to secure the energy we're stealing." (emphasis added)

We didn't go into Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction, or a link between 9-11 and Saddam Hussein, or to bring democracy to the Middle East. The United States was determined to replace Hussein's regime with one that would prove friendly to American oil interests.

Thank You for posting that Grave link. All political views aside, there was a helluva lot of screwed up sh!T going on over there that no longer exists. Oil or not, there is no longer a nationwide selective genocide. I hope it will stay that way.

It should be fixed now. I must have posted the wrong link... not sure how that one got there, I've never seen that TOS page before.

Do you not find it ironic that the UN reports on climate say that carbon taxes will have zero effect on climate? You have read the reports?

It is indeed ironic that Gore has positioned himself to make a great deal of money in "carbon markets". You seem to be confused about which man will be keeping you down.

Got cheaper energy? Where is it? Please let us all know the source that you seem to believe exists.
Stealing indeed. A nice eight foot drop so far. Thanks.
