The lack of oil refining capacity is in fact hurting matters. Oil is coming in, but it cannot be processed fast enough to satisfy demand. That demand is a result of the myraid of SUVs, luxury sedans, and oversized houses that have sprouted up all over the country.

The answer would have been nuclear power for home/commercial power, but that was blown out of the water years ago.

The reason why you're seeing oil at $42/bbl is because you have about 1.5 billion people in China and 1.1 billion people in India who have decided that they're fed up with the dark ages and want to be true consumers of material goods (televisions, kitchen appliances, and, yes, automobiles). It is this demand that is putting the HUGE strain on the fixed level of crude resources.

I have a boy in eighth grade who is ashamed to be American. That speaks volumes to me. Our country has become a joke.

I know several who are more than proud to be 'Merkins and are proud of what the President does. That speaks volumes to me.

I recall reading about 3,000 Americans who died in 2001 because BJ Bill treated all the terrorist acts ('93 WTC bombing, U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, etc) as criminal acts to be dealt with by Federal prosecutors, Grand Juries, etc (I'll bet Al Qaeda literally craps in their pants from fear at the thought of a grand jury indictment.... real scary stuff!!!). He even passed on getting UBL when Sudan offered him to us. So do us all a favor and cram your little bumper sticker where the sun don't shine! :angry:

Just proves that grown up Blame America Firsters raise little Blame America Firsters. It's truly pathetic that your kid doesn't appreciate how damned lucky he is to live in this country, regardless of who is President.

You know...Bush went after Bin Laden in Afghanistan, but couldn't find him, so he set his sights on Saddam Hussein instead ...justifying the action with a plethora of lies. Those actions pretty much insured that US soldiers will be in Iraq for quite a few more years.

Do Federal prosecuters launch Cruise Missles? And what did your boy Bushy do before 9/11? Nothing.
The world changed after 911. I dont blame Bush for what happened, and guess what, It Isn't Clintons fault either.

Ignorant Jerk.

...I don't think any President should be given credit for economic upswings or blame for economic downturns. Most of that activity is due to the normal business cycle and other events Presidents have little or no control over, i.e. 9/11, dot com bubbles, etc....

hmmm....
events Presidents have little or no control over, i.e. 9/11, dot com bubbles

You mean the multi-million dollar cruise missiles launched to blow up empty $10 tents? Yep, you're right...that was BJ Bill, not Federal Prosecutors. Ignorant jerk? Since I do know the meaning of the word "is" or "alone" (BJ Bill was never "alone" with Monica because there were other people in the White House, Washington, DC, planet Earth, whatever), and I'm an ignorant jerk, what does that make your boy Bill? I do give him credit for being able to sell pardons for a few bucks.

By the time 9/11 rolled around, Bush in fact had virtually no control over it. BJ Bill had done virtually nothing (except you-know-what) for 8 years while Al Qaeda organized and built their strength, made their plans, etc with virtually no meaningful resistance from the U.S. The CIA was gutted and the military severely downsized. If Kerry gets elected, it will be party time for Al Qaeda. Just as they influenced the election in Spain, they'll probably try to influence our election and get Bush out of office. Kerry would be their logical preference since he wouldn't do anything without French/German/U.N. approval. At least that's the way he's leaning now. Who knows where his flip-flopping will take his future policies/views.

It's amazing how the RePukelicans spin every bad thing Bush does. It's time for this administration to take responsibility for their watch. But they'll never do that. Of course, when Bush loses in November, they'll slam the new administration, without hesitation, over past issues. Give it up. Bush has been in office for years. Stop looking back for someone to blame your pathetic president on.

Ashamed to be an American huh? That speaks more volumes about you than him. When he's 18 send him out of the country for a few years and let him live outside of the country he hates. Then let's see how "ashamed" he is to be an American. This is still the best country on the face of the earth bar none. If those that don't like what's going on within our borders you are free to leave any time you see fit.

Buh-byeee.... :bleh:

Poor kid, went on an exchange program to Europe. Boy, did he get an earful from the people in Europe and their opinion of Americans. He came home and plans to go back to Europe again next month for the summer. Luckily, the best thing about our country is our ability to VOTE (unless Bush figures out how to manipulate that too....oh wait, he already did that in Florida, didn't he?)

 

[ITRADE]

Listen, if people are too f**king stupid to vote in the hole where it says VOTE HERE, they should reconsider voting all together.

After all, it was the Democratically controlled canvassing board in Palm Beach County that proposed and gained approval for the ballot.

In any event, Gore couldn't even win his own home state. Even Fritz Mondale could manage to win Minnesota in 1984.

But he won by over a HALF MILLION VOTES!!!!
And I do understand that this country is a Republic, not a Democracy.....but then we should stop acting like every vote counts, because it DOESN'T. Some votes are worth more than others. Thankfully I live in one of those places where my vote is worth more than others. Hopefully the people of this country don't screw it up again.
