where is that American exceptionalism when we need it? 1973 is a long time ago yet we have done almost nothing to stop our dependence on oil as our primary fuel. I simply cannot believe that we still do not have a energy policy that includes all energy sources including oil. It should show us all who really runs America. I wonder how much the oil companies pay our reps. to squash any talk of alternative energy. Throughout the world alternative energy is being developed and we are again falling behind. Why? AGAIN FOLLOW THE MONEY. It's a shame that some on this site want to fire all the teachers and yet say nothing about big oil making billions and paying no taxes,or ignoring the inflated salaries of the execs that run these companies. Big oil has hurt America far more than a few teachers staying out of work a few days to stand up for themselves. Its time for us to realize that big business is not our friend. They care only about the bottom line.
