and the ways of politics, it is the only way to be. I believe based on history there is NO HOPE!!!!
Example: the energy crisis of over 40 years ago...lots of arm waving and talk....since then absolutely nothing has been done to back one single commitment. Instead our dependence on foreign oil has doubled in magnitude from 40% to over 75%. And recently when gasoline was over $4 per gallon all the same WORDS and rhetoric.....result nothing being done to allay the ultimate disaster for America just waiting to happen....and it will happen...if we the people and the politics and the politicians they talk about dis liking has never resulted in any action to fend off the obvious.....just why would anybody have any faith some how magically the light will be allowed to shine through...it is not going to happen.

Maybe....MAYBE....HOPEFULLY.... by re-electing no one in 2010 and getting Obama out of office in 2012 or sooner.....MAYBE there COULD be a course correction.

Remember it takes 10 to 20 years for some of the energy salvation programs to effect their impact. I think it is too late to stop the USA we all love from becoming a second tier, also ran country.
