What you're suggesting is that we drain another country of its oil for our own benefit. WHY?! Oh, and this may seem anti-Republican, but this is as equally as bad as what you said: How'd we get into this oil crisis in the first place? It all started around 2000... what happened that year... something significant?<br><b>References : </b><br> WHOA, too many anti-Democrat statements for me to handle!

We should be fortunate to be paying 4 bucks a gallon for gas. in the uk right now it costs about 9/10 dollars a gallon. can you imagine spending 100 dollars to fill up a toyota corolla, or 200 bucks to fill up your toyota tundra? so yea hope that gave you some perspective<br><b>References : </b><br> i guess someone is pro mccain, anti obama. wont you calm down for a second. if such a thing really did happen, dont you think the govt would start drilling for oil in alaska and in the gulf more? its not like they are gonna be "oh well tough shi t" ethanol is a bad option regardless of how good it seemed in the recent past, and drilling in alaska can and will disrupt the environment which is why they dont want to drill there right now. honestly we did this to ourselves. this is our own problem. us big bad americans in the past thought "we have oil coming out our butts, itll never run out, instead of building contained cities, we will just become the definition of urban sprawl and commute 2 hours to work every day. because of urban sprawl, public transportation isnt very efficient because it isnt very wide spread. sure its fine in new york and san fran and new orleans (well sorta) but for most of the country that isnt an option.

The same thing we did during the oil shortage of 1974. Kids living within a couple miles of school would have to start walking. Everyone else would have to car pool. The second issue is why politicians don't listen to the voters. Multinational companies using Political Action Committees and special interest groups get politicians elected. The spend millions of dollars on candidates that will pass legislation beneficial to the SI group or Companies. When was the last time you or I paid for Television ads, Bill Boards, or Flyer's for a candidate. I haven't ever had the money to do that. Most of us have only been able to display a bumper sticker paid for by one of the PAC's or S.I. groups. Proven political science fact is put a candidates' name in front of voters enough times, and they will vote for him regardless of what or who he represents. PAC's and S.I. groups have the money to buy the election with advertisement. So the short answer is, politicians can ignore the electorate as long as they have the support of PAC's and S.I. groups.<br><b>References : </b><br> First issue you address is what would we do?

They are scared of the people that want it to change. They want us broke and using public transit so we go where they take us when they want us to. They have found willing partners with the envior"mental"ists that want the same. The worship of earth has replaced the worship of God. I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, there are a few oil drilling riggs here. Thats where the fish are. Go figure. A real enviormentalist would want us to drill our own oil so we can make it as enviormentaly safe as possible. Do you really think the arab terrorists produce oil with the best interests of the earth in mind?<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes, our government has been working toward bringing down the middle class for a while now.
