Those are exactly the "whiners" I was referring to, and you summed up a nice part of their hypocrisy perfectly. There's no reason we shouldn't be tapping into those reserves, as well as building the much needed off-shore rigs in the Gulf and elsewhere. If we're not going to get weaned off oil coming from the Middle East, then we should be focusing on the barrels that are right in our back yard. I find it amazing that so many can get all riled up over the price of gas, but scoff at the idea of trading the SUVs in for more economical vehicles. I used to drive a Yukon, until the price to fuel it up every month started to resemble my house note.

Very nicely worded, and painfully true.
Mr. Clandestine Reviewed by Mr. Clandestine on . My write-up about todays economy Wednesday, February, 27 2008. One of the greatest empires that ever existed has taken advantage of easy life. The one thing they think wont or cant happened slowly happens. Advancements were made but in a sense only for there lifestyle well being. Power grids that have been powering immaculate cities for that last 20 years without large reconstruction or design of efficiency eventually cut out and leave millions without power. As soon as the power goes out people act differently no 24-hour gas Rating: 5
