Wow. A bad economy is also something you favor as well as doing something for doing somethings sake. Results don't mean much to you I guess.

Just because the current political climate sucks doesn't mean America in and of itself sucks.

Thom,

If you were genuine enough I would vote for you. Trouble is if you really got the job and were really genuine in your efforts and motives ...do you think that would make you imune to a whole bunch of other people commenting on how bad you suck too?

You reckon you're a bit of a socialist? Me I'll be a dictator. For starters I'd cancel all welfare for the unemployed except for some help to those who are single parents , past retirement age and those who are genuinely mentally or physically incapacitated. And I'd put some limits to freedom of speech so as to give some freedom of protection to the silent majorities.

Man I'd be so popular!

"And I'd put some limits to freedom of speech so as to give some freedom of protection to the silent majorities. "

Explain this please.

I'd like to hear this as well. I guess these silent majorities don't feel a need to exercise their own powers of free speech, so everyone gets limited....

The whole idea of a silent majority makes me laugh. It's like Quantam mechanics, if a majority chooses not to be known they are not able to be observed so therefore don't exist.

Another way to look at it is that "silent majority" is a security blakent. When the world does things you don't like you imagine all these friends who agree with you and you are all against the tiny number of people who are doing things you don't agree with. These imganiry friends are your security blanket that you are right. They are your "silent majority".

You see! Did say I'd get popular didn't I? Especially amongst the loud minority. What's that saying? Empty vessels ...

Great none answer. Way not to back up your ideas.

On this one I'll let you guys back my ideas.

What?

Huh?

Now I understand your glee with the bogus Libby indictment, as well as your total lack of objectivity.

Tell me, how do you think we'd be doing today if the poodle had won the last election?

They always kill the guy or gal with the true message.

Look we will run out of gas. Or at least I think we will. So no more walmart or cheep china bikes or sox, underwear.Cause no gas no chep transport. Start the change now . Buy local goods .

get our kids to gym everyday. math ain't worth a shit if you ain't got health.tax the crap out of bullets and gas used in ATV's and such. Get those hunters off their ass and automated couch potato machines and Walking in the woods with very expensive bullets .


i will never vote for either the of the two main party's they are both the same !!!


Dirt

You point out that America will come to a gringing hault with out fuel so you say tax the crap out of it. So shut down the US for as long as it takes to redo the entire energy system then restart it and say all is ok?

What will bullets do? There are already biliions if rounds of ammo out there. If you tax them too high people will just buy them under the table.

Not much logic but lots of emotion.

Yeah what a great messanger you are.

tax those that waste gas oil and electricity. You will be the first to bitch about $ 5. a gallon fuel. I never said shut down the USA. Save fuel by taxing those that waste it. increase the tax base by taxing bullets. Just like cigarettes.

" Not much logic but lots of emotion.

Yeah what a great messanger you are."


thanks for the thought full coments

Thom

You didn't address the fact that a huge increase in the tax on bullets will do nothing and who do you tax for the fuel?

Again your talking about lofty things that make you feeeeel better not saying anything solid.

The world is just so embedded in it's fossil fuel dependancy and culture.

It's killing off the ozone layer, something that we can ill afford to lose and cannot replace, it's hazardous to our health and makes us over dependant on a part of population that's committed to a backward loony religion which is a threat to all including themselves.

And still keeping everything status quo is the greed perpetuated by the powers that be in our economic systems. Well as you say we're actually going to have to start running short of fossil fuel before things happen.

Can you imagine the potential chaos that may ensue when supplies start to deplete significantly? Thank goodness you and I won't be around when that happens.

Happy Halloween....

"Can you imagine the potential chaos that may ensue when supplies start to deplete significantly?"

Yeah we will switch energy sources. We will do it before your Road Warrior dreams happen. Look through history. Things always change and they always will.

People have been saying your exact type of bullshit since the 60's and all the doom and gloom has yet to come true.

It is going to suck when China starts to use more and more oil. This guy on open source was saying by next summer gas would be $6. a gal. If he is right it is going to suck. If China 's middle class grows, their going to want more cars less biking and mass transport. We owe China so much money.

Might never happen. If it does, oh shit.

Thom

Well unlike you I'm not predicting anything for certain. I don't have claim to have a crystal ball but the reason I see a POTENTIAL problem is because the oil is already a sourcr of much conflict right now when we are not quite running dry yet. Notice the use of word POTENTIAL in previous and present posts.

"People have been saying your exact type of bullshit ..."

Don't take it so personally, it's an academic discussion.

Yeah that's a depressing thought. Hope Mr Tibbs is right and the development of alternative energy sources will be quick enough before the shit hits the fan.

 "Well unlike you I'm not predicting anything for certain."

Oh my word. Dude you where predicitng doom and gloom then start violining how everyithing is going wrong and then you threw out some ideas that don't work.
