Somehow these projects all remind of "Lamarckism". The reader may remember that Lamarck was a biologist who claimed, contrary to Mendelian genetics, Darwin's theory of natural selection (actually he preceded Darwin who disproved his theory), and millennia of experience in plant and animal "husbandry" since the stone ages, that biological entities could pass on to their offspring traits acquired during their life-span, as opposed to only those traits for which genetic information was already present at birth. The horror arose when in the 20's and 30's Soviet bureaucrats convinced their government under Stalin to give these long discredited theories the "big try" on collectivized Ukrainian farms. The objective was, last not least, to upstage the Capitalist countries by disproving Capitalist biological science. Almost needless to say, none of the pie-in-the-sky yields which were predicted were ever realized, and the failures served to further undermine the farmer-serfs' morale to the point where millions starved and the Soviet Union was forced to "borrow" grain from its arch-enemy, US!

Who will we "borrow" from when all of this government madness produces failure upon failure, especially when we've had to borrow heavily even to fund the attempts?!

To "drive" home the point, the various suggestions here for a truckers' strike -I think, one day, nationwide, will do fine- are excellent. The next day should be a teachers's strike, nationwide. Then a health-care professionals' strike, a lawyers' strike, and so on. Let Congress and the Executive know that we're tired of this BS and that "we, the people" are taking back our powers; because they are ours, and are merely on loan, pending good behavior, to the officials we pay!

Reshaping our future for energy independence starts with U.S. workers picking up tools.

The longer we have able men & women out of work, our economy will languish.

False ups in the Stock Market do not reflect unemployed workers finding jobs but carrot dangeling creating false hope that 'someone sees something' on the horizon.

The disruption of Interstate Commerce NOW will demonstrate the impact on our free market of Commerce later with the mandated price increases driving owner/operators and leased equipment out of business with fewer small business hauling companies available, causing longer delays and further increases in freight bills, passing these costs onto the consumer and inflating the costs of all goods again, and again , and again until no one can afford to purchase them.

The truckers can bring these politicians to their knees and save America at the same time by keeping the keys in their pocket. That's a "Convoy" I could support!
