Crisis in America...

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah...

Talk about a mess of Bullshit.

It's another example, to me at least, of passing the buck. About a mess of people who just sit back and demand that you do something, that the government fix the problem.

It's so vacuous.

Demand we get off foreign oil in ten years.

Yea, do it now mother fuckers or else...

Or else what?

Or better still, What?

Nothing.

We all know, well, at least those of us who are sentient, that we are facing an energy meltdown, a complete alteration of the way we live.

The most chilling part of that commercial is the suburban mom, dad and kid sitting on the couch demanding that some amorphous you do something.

It's just another feel good waste of money that is probably collected tax free by a bunch of well meaning people who haven't a clue about what to do except sit there and demand something, underscored by some neat, ominous music with a bunch of pretty pictures to show WE means business.

Hello WE, or rather YOU, get real. Buy some high efficient appliances, recycle, downsize your life. In other words, get off your ass and do something, anything. But stop whining about it. Just do it.
