It does not take a smart person to observe how costs have already gone up due to oil costs imposed by foreign dependency on oil. I suppose you could say that for many years Washington and the environmentalists have imposed 'Cap and Trade' on our own oil so we have to depend on the Middle East glut and lust for our money. We have to help the terrorists have money! Otherwise they would be run out of business. (Incidently they will run out of oil in the not too far distant future – then the world will have a real crisis.

Either ignorance, stupidity or traitorous endeavors out of our 'representatives' and dictator leaders in DC are really screwing up our economy and country, and the whole world. Of course all of their actions to tax and spend us to death is not their fault – never will be in their minds!

Not 'God bless America' but 'God make America blessable'.

Of course, the absurdity of this whole exercise is we could all start riding our bicycles to work, but if the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China) keep doing what they're doing, our reduction in greenhouse gases will be more than offset by their continued increases.

Maybe Michael Jackson could change the World, but neither Al Gore nor Barack Obama can duplicate his feat.
