Don't I have anything better to do than write on this computer? Of course I do. I have ridden several miles on my bike this morning, checked the new tomato and pepper plants in the backyard, took my wife of 44 years out to lunch at a Chinese restaurant, visited with our daughter, son-in-law and grand kids.
I remember the oil embargo of the early 1970's (sounds like, "Remember the winter of '47?').
This occurred during a time very reminiscent of today (Jimma Carter in the White House with a demo senate and congress, Americans being held hostage in Iran, America crawling on her knees begging forgiveness for being the most successful country in the word). Gasoline soared to to 70 cents a gallon at the pump, oil $25 to $30 a barrel. We were told that when oil hit $40 a barrel it would be practical to mine and convert the vast oil shale of the west into usable fuel. What ever happened to that idea? We are mislead constantly by our chosen leaders and their minions. What fools we are! One of knocks on the shale oil is the lie by the environmental groups that it will require to much water. True, a lot of water is required but most for cooling and would not be contaminated.
"ACT AS IF WHAT YOU DO MAKES A DIFFERENCE. IT DOES." William James.
Can we act today? Do not be misled by the thought that my voice or vote is not important. A few dozen votes put a clown (comedian) in the senate.
