I think that this country will fail because of a lack of gumption and because we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, or pay the bills.

There is nothing wrong with paying the bills.

Wars are lost and won and fought because of things like oil. That is reality.

And staying in the black eonomically is something we must do to survive as a country.

Of course oil and energy is important. Let the pipeline come through and level the playing field.

For now. But what we should be doing is finding a viable alternative energy source and eliminate the playing field altogether.
