While anecdotal, it certainly comes close to hitting the nail on the head. The only puzzling aspect of the whole situation whether it be this so called nut shell or my rantings in other posts about the lack of ANY effort for energy independence.....how can it be the so called educated.....the influential....all those who like to think they know how to make things happen....all the so called brilliance in Washington, DC....just why is it NOBODY does anything about it.
Has the silent majority been apathetic so long they don't care? Is it just SOME of us old farts remember when something needed to be done we (the USA) did it. Well I thank GOD every day for having been a part of history when the USA .....was great....WAS a leader.....used to care about it's people......
What is it going to take to get the current generation to wake up and rescue our great nation that is in a rapid state of deterioration.
And please don't insult our intelligence with any of the usual partisan blame gaming....that is BS as well as part of the problem.
Anyway, the whole subject of lack of response to energy independence is obvious....even here on this forum.
No body wants to stand and be counted for fear they say it wrong...do it wrong...don't appear as they THINK one should......well just puff out your chest...be proud to be an American....dump the partisan weenie positioning....and take a stand!!
