“Our convenience, our leisure and recreation, and our seemingly endless need for fun is at the very heart of our problem.”

I did not just read that. So much for the pursuit of happiness. I do not feel entitled to cheap gas. If the market dictates that gas must be over $4 then so be it. But I am going to grumble when a political party in our country stands in the way of increasing the supply of domestic production. Instead of people being forced to live in cities with poor schools, high taxes, pollution and frentic pace, why don’t we actually try and implement an energy policy which includes, nuclear, increased domestic drilling, research into alternative fuels, etc. etc. Their is plenty of oil, we just need to be able to get to it.
