Gated and domed!
Although Elephantman and his friends seem to think that the obscene wealth they're gathering to themselves in the fossil fuel industry and energy markets will allow them to separate themselves from the rest of us riffraff and breath different air than we do by building gated, domed communities as needed, they're wrong. May they choke on their wealth and their rank indifference to the well being of this marvelous planet we share and to future generations that will still have to survive here.
This was one of your clearest, best spoken posts ever, Andrew! Thanks for cutting through the B.S. to lay out what the issues really are, here!

You are all entitled to your environmentalist views. But if that's your pleasure, please don't send out people like Dick Durbin and Nancy Pelosi to complain about high gasoline prices. Because they are liars and hypocrites, claiming that "American families" need lower gasoline prices but also need to use less oil.
On the other hand, if people like Durbin want lower gasoline prices for their constiuents, there are things they can do. They can lower gase taxes in high-tax states like Illinois. They can reduce taxes that discourage oil exploration and production. And they can help the President find ways to expand the areas for oil exploration.
You can take your pick with either one. But you can't have it both ways.
