[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE]It's the "will have to be met" stance that I find fascinating, because of the staggering implications it entails. [/QUOTE]Why is this? Certainly, energy demand WILL have to be met, unless you LIKE rolling blackouts. Whether we meet it on our own or continue to put greater reliance on the Middle East is what is in question. The author suggests that we would be better off pursuing alternate energy sources than continuing to utilize foreign oil, and he is entirely correct. I push for this myself, as there is nothing I would like better than to tell the Middle East to go screw itself, and not needing their oil would greatly enable that. It would also free us up to act from a position of far greater strength in the region, should our ire be incurred. However, I think that the only way we will get to that point is if we elect someone who has no connections whatsoever to business or oil or industry, and who pushes science and technological development. This removes most Republicans, and at least the last Democrat to run for the job. I don't see Nader doing it, either. I, however, am willing to sell every share of stock I own immediately upon my inauguration as Dictator. [QUOTE]"A liberalizing force" - by installing puppet governments, I presume? [/QUOTE]As opposed to what? A Dictator is a Dictator. [QUOTE]And when they do raise valid objections, they're immediately stigmatised as eeeeeeeeeeeeevil unpatriotic conspirators by those on the right side of the political spectrum. Bugger. [/QUOTE]Whose stigmatizing this guy? His points are all valid. You're being paranoid again. You're just confusing the people making the invalid points with the people making the valid points. [/QB][/QUOTE]
