War on Terror
Anyone else wonder why, in the middle of our war on terror, we're not
turning over an accused terrorist to the proper authorities? Mr. Posada has been accused of a part in the destruction of a civil air carrier, much the same as our friends of sep 11. |

They sure kicked the **** out of that problem, didn't they? |

Energy .................1977 http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/carter/...ps_energy.html (This difficult effort will be the "moral equivalent of war" --) Primary Sources: The President's Proposed Energy Policy Jimmy Carter delivered this televised speech on April 18, 1977. Tonight I want to have an unpleasant talk with you about a problem unprecedented in our history. With the exception of preventing war, this is the greatest challenge our country will face during our lifetimes. The energy crisis has not yet overwhelmed us, but it will if we do not act quickly. It is a problem we will not solve in the next few years, and it is likely to get progressively worse through the rest of this century. We must not be selfish or timid if we hope to have a decent world for our children and grandchildren. We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now, we can control our future instead of letting the future control us. Two days from now, I will present my energy proposals to the Congress. Its members will be my partners and they have already given me a great deal of valuable advice. Many of these proposals will be unpopular. Some will cause you to put up with inconveniences and to make sacrifices. The most important thing about these proposals is that the alternative may be a national catastrophe. Further delay can affect our strength and our power as a nation. Our decision about energy will test the character of the American people and the ability of the President and the Congress to govern. This difficult effort will be the "moral equivalent of war" -- except that we will be uniting our efforts to build and not destroy. I know that some of you may doubt that we face real energy shortages. The 1973 gasoline lines are gone, and our homes are warm again. But our energy problem is worse tonight than it was in 1973 or a few weeks ago in the dead of winter. It is worse because more waste has occurred, and more time has passed by without our planning for the future. And it will get worse every day until we act. [snip] Montblack |

Maybe we should have a war on reason. It would ensure the survival of
brains. Jose -- The price of freedom is... well... freedom. for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

The sad part is we had a really good start on conserving energy. People were moving to smaller cars, better mileage, learning to conserve, car pool... and a whole list of things. We really reduced the amount of fuel we were using. The result was gas became cheap(relatively speaking) and plentiful. People went back to demanding big cars and trucks so the automakers dutifully started building them and why not. We wanted them and they make more money on them. Car pooling was too inconvenient, as were most of the other methods of conserving and ... here we are and for that we can't blame the government. Now if, instead of conserving they build subsidized refineries to increase the output... Then we can blame the government..
