Shift some of the killing and privatized military bonanza business down the priority list and we would be better able to finance some exciting alternative energy and expand Medicare and improve lots of other things that make up the common good.

Alternative energy development is not about deprivation, it is about cleaning up the pollution we have generated in the industrial age that has greatly interfered with the natural climatic systems.

It is also about breaking up the centralized monopolized energy markets, decentralizing the power sources and making us less dependent upon making war in order to secure our "cheap" oil.
