I don't really give a crap about global warming in the future because foreign oil is bankrupting this country TODAY. We spend over $500 billion a year on foreign oil, in 2008 this will be $750 billion.
We need taxes on gross vehicle weight of passenger vehicles. We need laws on consumer packaging, we need higher energy taxes to promote conservation (either the US gets the money or the Saudis will).
I recently heard on some progressive talk radio that it is estimated that 60-70% of the price of oil increases comes from Wall St oil contract speculators.
Maybe we should NATIONALIZE their asses....

Thanks, Georgie!
You still out there?
NO but I think a favorite troll is hitting everybody here. Did a little test last nite, mostly because I am pissed. Mr Troll was at 226 and got dropped to 78. Guess what, all of a sudden said troll bounced back to 130. Now that is just not possible because it was late at night.

Refineries are at 85 percent capacity.
That's not an issue except for the Fox News/ Bush Butt Kisser crowd.
So Mr. Troll is probably using multiple identities to boost his "clout" ratings and what's worse brags about it while downgrading almost everyone who makes comments.
No they don't but it is not right that busboy and mirth are getting hit big time. It is not right that one asshole troll has figured out how to freep the system and yes, what happens is there if a limit and people start getting bounced? This is not right
WTF?
Funny seeing a banner for a "Free Newt" newsletter on A blog.
I don't think so, it took me a long time to reduce CDS2 down to 78 and the sob popped back this morning with a 130 rating. Then I noticed on the thread that he bragged about having a 156. You can get muliple identities in this stupid disqus and mark someone down several times. I just couldn't figure it out how anyone could drop a huge amount of points like boom. This is how he/they are doing it.
I mean, isn't anyone wondering how CDS2 manages to have so many points over regular posters? What pisses me off that he brags about it.
Some of the blogs are more about gaming the system than they are about discussing issues.
I guess as long as they don't do anything with the negative ratings, it won't get that bad.
Once the negatives mean something, though. Watch out.
Sock puppets, gang troll-rating attacks...it can really become a mess.
It is not so much the points as someone deliberately screwing the system. Like hackers that cause havoc because "they can".
Trust me I am not busboy and I am sorry if I have spoiled your evening. I will leave you to your comments without interruption.
Is that the lady who runs a photo of her and her dog?
All she does is rip Dems all day, but her ratings are through the roof.
At least he's an honest troll.
I don't know if this is correct or nor BUT I do know that Americans use waaaaaay too much oil/gas. It is probably worse here, since I live in California, but when I drive on the freeway, going either to work or out of town, the vast majority of cars have one person in the car. Why do people do this, when it increases your commute by 30 minutes, an hour, 2 hours -- whatever? Beats me, but they won't ride light rail or carpool. No wonder the Saudis won't lower their prices -- Americans will pay whatever price they demand for oil.
It is time for Americans to GROW UP. No, just because you are American does not mean you can have whatever you want, when you want it. (Americans' absolute refusal to accept universal health care is a great example.) "I have mine -- screw you!"
Is anyone REALLY surprised that the rest of the world hates us/mocks us?
We're fat, out of shape, reluctant to save money, and out of touch with reality. We don't really broadcast it, but other countries are ahead of us in technology and education. We're fast on the way to becoming a third world country.
I guess I sort of miss HELL-O-SCAN and glasses guy.

"In exchange, the White House said, the United States will help the Saudis develop civilian nuclear power, as well as new infrastructure to safeguard its energy supplies."
Ain't diplomacy wonderful?
