Gas prices and offshore drilling

Not much is at stake on Election Day 2008. Just the long-term health of the global economy and the future of the planet. That's what the offshore drilling debate is all about.

    Gas prices and offshore drilling

    "You know, junkies find veins in their toes when those in their arms collapse.”

    Al Gore was right.

    Offshore drilling, ANWAR, it's all the same thing.

    I mean, why worry about fifty years from now when we could be making money today? If our grandchildren aren't tough enough or smart enough to figure it out, well - screw them!

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    If our grandchildren can't find a different energy source years from now, then shame on them!!!!
