Because they don't give a damn what our environmentalists say or think! Our politicians need to grow a set!

Re: 427
I wonder what everyone thinks about the recent slip of the tongue by a congressional panel member about "Socializing the oil industry......It's about government taking over all of you businesses"
Personally this scares the crap out of me. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif |
Re: 427
Nobody's going to socialize anything. This is America and you pay the going rate or you go packing. Nobody's going to socialize medicine either no matter what they say on the campaign trail. Rest easy, the current status quo will still be in place 50, 100, 200 years from now. Politicos love to say stupid s*it to get the opposition's dander up and that's probably what you heard--a politically planned "trial balloon" aimed at shaking people up. When gas is $10 a gallon we'll be paying for it just as we are paying $4-plus today. (If we're really lucky the salaried employees among us will get pay raises to help offset the skyrocketing price of gas and food! Ya'think?)

Re: 427
I am concerned about the "growing something for nothing" group that doesn't seem to understand that for every freebie they get from the government they surrender some of their own personal freedom. The politico's have been very successful tainting the opinion of the something for nothing crowd by vilifying big business. The American Idol Brittney crowd is made to believe that all business is crooked and their savior to make everything FAIR is the government.
Im sure things like this don't happen overnight (i wish they would for obvious reasons) and I will have assumed room temperature for long time when it does, but it will if we continue down the path we are on. Maybe not now, what about our kids and grandkids. Below is a quote from A Scottish historian who lived in the late 1700's It is interesting to me because I think it reflects the direction of our country A warning from Scots Historian Professor Alexander Tyler, circa 1787: The Fall of the Athenian Republic. "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship. "The average age of the world's greatest civilization has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence. From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance, from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back into bondage. Hopefully I'm wrong Sorry about the rant but like I said before this stuff drives me nuts!!!!!!!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif |
Re: 427
I've been noticing that the gas prices now resemble our most popular engine choices...396, 402, 427, 454, 496, 502 https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif
