They should call me up. I can also argue out of anything.

Man, the OJ trial is a joke, the lawyers are bastard enough to suggest that all the DNA samples had been tamper with, and the jury are stupid enough to believe it.

Oh, crap. This is going to become a debate on the Simpson verdict, isn't it? Look, it was four years ago. Let it go.

"Lawyers can argue out of anything, look at the OJ trial, and rich people can pay their way out. But what about the Middle Class?"
Sorry, but that made me spit out my coke.
Trully, out of all the problems society currently has, the Middle Class are suffering the most. Some of them can only afford two cars. And they can't even get all the cable channels. And poor little Cynthia is having pony-lessons at an inferior stable. How can these poor put upon people afford food, let alone lawyers?

I dunno. I'm the Working Poor, even though I do a Middle-Class job. I blame the huge amounts we spend on the NON-working Poor, who usually end up hanging out here anyway.
That and $500 screwdrivers, spending $1 million to 'protect' an area of wetlands the size of a ping-pong table, and inflated prices for subsidized foods. Oh, and OPEC.

Oh, don't blame OPEC. They're just doing what Clinton asked.
On second thought, blame OPEC. They're doing what Clinton asked.

The US has a hell of a lot of oil that they are not even drilling for. So why doesn't the USA either dig more up or sell off some of your strategic reserves? I mean its not like you intend to invade europe anytime soon is it?

Excellent. That way the US can be really rich while a lot of other countries are poor and starving. And then you can divert almost all of of your money into your military.
Oh, wait...

Military? Who needs a military when the other guys can't spare the gas for the tanks? (Not that the other guys are always smart enough to realize that they can't spare it...if they were, we wouldn't keep having these stupid little brush wars all the time -- Hey! You in the dune! Feeding your family is more important than ownership of 20 sq km of SAND!!!)
I suppose the case could be made that we deserve to keep our reserves of gas because we're the most likely folks to come up with a way to get along without the gas, once things start getting tight. I mean, who ELSE could build an orbiting solar power station... Belgium?? Pakistan??
On the other hand... it was when the fossil fuels started getting depleted that the big wars always started when I played Sim Earth...
On the gripping hand, I ended a lot of those wars by dropping meteors on the aggressors... we could do that, too.

"the gripping hand" - I read that in a science fiction book so long ago...Where'd that come from, First?
Anyways, our esteemed Perpetrator Bill Clinton has made several policies to make the US dependant on foreign oil... Like, for instance, not allowing off-shore drilling, exploring Alaska for oil, putting land that contains oil and coal under federal protection...etc.

At the time of Desert Storm, the US imported only 15% of its oil...Today, I'm sure it is much higher.
