As our dependence on petro chemicals threatens our way of life

[randr]

is it not time to address the elephant in the room?
Our military industrial complex along with all the tentacles of American Imperialism are the driving force behind the insane quest for more and more toxic stew. The military consumption of resources is threatening our very existence and needs to come to an end.
What better use of our men in arms than to bring them home to help build a new infrastructure based on 21st century technologies? The vast financial investments now going to the procurement, distribution, and eventual clean up costs of petro porn need to be redirected. The numbers of workers employeed in the "petro fields" need to understand the opportunities of healthy employment that furthers our nations' needs.
A bold move by a real leader is only one missing ingredient. Who will stand up to the people we have been warned about and set a new course for our nation?
Will the people who have so much time on their hands to protest every imagined wrong have the sense and nerve to go after the real enemy that is succeeding in destroying our dream?
Bring our Troops Home and build a New America!

Oil is just a Means to an unreachable End. Without it, we would carry on, at one pace or another

Watch the little Daily Show clip.

It's both funny and sad...
