Heh. Looks as if even the bottom end of the bell curve can afford
computers these days.

Doofus, *everyone* -including the oil industry and John McCain- admits
that we can't drill our way out of the oil crunch for several reasons:
(A) there's a ten-year turnaround time before the first drop can flow
into a gas tank, (B) our own untapped reserves simply aren't large
enough to make a dent in our national consumption anyway, and, (C)
demand is still growing, not just here but all over the world. So no
matter *how* you cut it, increased demand and a constantly shrinking
supply will mean rapidly increasing oil prices for as long as the
reserves hold out, and when it's gone, it's gone.

Alternative energy sources are going to be the only possible answer,
and the longer we avoid moving in that direction the worse it's going
to be for us.

Um, sure. (Choke, chortle, cough, snigger, gasp, chuckle...)

At last count, roughly 50%% of Americans *do* want that "snooty Harvard
lawyer" as our President. Would you know the truth if it bit you in
the ass?

Uh, sure. Check out "truth" and "ass", above.
