The G(as) O(il) P(etroleum) party
Innocent question here. Do you (the plural "you") think that if we can hasten with development of alternative fuels that we can make people like the idiot in chief and Dickhead go broke--in their lifetime, and break the back of the whole bunch of criminals putting our backs against the wall for energy? Do you think that more people are now likely to believe that the powerful oil industry has done everything in their almighty power to keep alternative fuels from reaching the masses because of greed? Do you think that through time, the industry has even committed murder to keep alternative fuel discoveries from becoming public?

And if they have, how long is it going to be before we are able to tell them all to go to hell, or are we ourselves going to die before such discoveries are "allowed?" Will we see these bastards taking control of these energy sources before their existence can ever be announced? Can these people be so evil and greedy that human beings are completely dispensable to them, and that winning and controlling the world is all that matters?

1. And Why did Obama Vote FOR Dick Cheney's Energy Plan ?
That gave over $ 25 Billion in Taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil?

All great questions.

2. it is an imperative
we need to realize
a)we need to make lifestyle changes
b)we don't need oil

many, many options and opportunities for alternatives and substitutes. Only catch is the wasteful suburban lifestyle and monster SUVs will be the first to go.

walk away from hauling stones up the pyramids
walk away from the king
walk away from the black heroin
