What a freakin' world! Great rant, Tom. This obstinacy at remaining dependent on fossil fuels bodes no good at all. Thank you. Love and peace, friend,

I can't complain as for the most part, I guess, I am one of those long necked beastie birds sticking their heads in the sand...I hide in my camper and do nothing but "live with it", as our nation loses all its values and its products to overseas interests & all else you did talk about...guess I am not much of a fighter...sorry, Ed

Invest In ‘Vaseline’!
It Is a Petroleum Product You Know!
A Lot More Screwin’ To Come!
So - ‘Drill Baby - Drill!’

I think you've just answered your own question, my friend. Even in the midst of the greatest environmental disaster our nation has ever faced, I still hear more and more old politicians, new wannabe politicians, and ordinary citizens still yellin 'Drill, Baby, Drill,' far more than I hear 'Ban All Offshore Drilling, and let's get off this god-awful petroleum based economy that's killin our country.'

A Freakin Ostrich Loaded Country, Indeed!
