we have an uneducated population more concerned with who will be america's next top model than raising their own children and those children are learning the lesson of apathy well. it's an apathy born of the fact that while we were concerned with making better things, we neglected to try to make better people. instead of building a strong moral background for ourselves we have hidden behind the enforced morality of various religions, whose leaders are often as corrupt as our political leaders. instead of taking responsibility for our future we search for someone to blame for our own mistakes, that way we don't have feel guilty for failing to repair the damage we do. we have lost the will to serve.
seeing the problems is easy. if you want solutions all you can do is start with yourself. do you have the will to serve? but then, i'm only an aging hippie with delusions on normality, what the hell do i know.:hippy:
somewhere along the line i left the realm of politics and entered the spiritual arena. i don't know why i always seem to end up doing this, but that's what you get when you ask a silly question.
Not to sound like an Eco-Phreak But it seem to me like a lot of people are blaming Big Oil and those assholes in our government for all our enegry problems...Yes their policies are a big part of the problem...But so is the fact that Americans feel this need to drive cars and trucks that are WAY bigger and less fuel efficent than they need (What real use is a 350 Hp Truck or SUV or a 500 Hp car?),live in housing that is WAY Bigger Than nessesary (If you look around,How many folk are living in a four thousand Sq foot house with only TWO occupants?) Have so many Eletrical Vampire Devices (Computers,TV's Applinces) that when you turn them off they arn't really off,that are still drawing power?
No I'm not trying to take Big Oil's or our current Adminastrations side,far from it...But look arond you and see how much enegry YOU use in your everyday life,At home,At work,In your general everyday life??
WE The US have 5-6 percent of the worlds population and yet we use 25 Persent of the worlds energy...This does'nt make any sence!!
If you want Exxon-Mobile or Bush-Cheany Oil Co to pay attention STOP using SO MUCh of their Products!!!
And I'm not Car bashing...There is nothing more satisfing thent he sound of a Big-Block Chevy Chevelle under Wide Open Throttle accerating away first thing in the morning, I'v been a Gear-Head for years and always will be,so please don't think I'm a total tree-hugger! But we as American Consumers are as much to blame as they are!!
Am I missing something, aren't the American Oil Companies the government anyway? How is taking the money and investing it in sustainable resources neccessarilly going to put them out of business, it is their money in the first place, so they will surely reap the economical benefits.
Democrats are just as bad as the republican's in my view. What are the democrat's going to save the planet now? 8 years of fighting the evil terrorists and now a further 4-8 years healing the planet.
I tell you, give her 4-8 years with the trousers on and she'll be filing for a settlement worth half the country.
Oh yeah and did anyone know that Al Gore owns a massive chunk of Occidental? Yeah, that's the company who wanted to destroy the homes of thousands of U'Wa tribal people. Last i heard they were all going to commit mass suicide unless the oil companies fucked off, dunno what happened after that though. All I know is Al Gore now thinks he is some kind of environmental guru.
Apologies if my humour is taken as sexist, but I come from a country that was ruled by the iron lady herself Maggie Thatcher for 13 dark years. I'd like to see a wooman rule the planet though, but her name Gaia and she's always been there for us. Right now though I think she is about to go through the men-o-pause.
