We went from exploding rockets on the ground, to landing a man on the moon in one decade. We went from having a military smaller and more ill-equipped than Bulgaria's to a collosus bestriding the globe and vanquishing two of the most advanced military empires in history in less than one decade.

I say we challenge ourselves to a crusade to free ourselves of oillah in one decade--and the developing world too, whose main cause of crippling debt is dependence upon OIL (and who therefore rely upon American taxpayers to foot the bill when the debt they cannot pay is forgiven).

Allah will be collateral damage on the road-side of economic history....

You like to do a lot of slogan-laden bitching-and-whining about the status quo, but I have yet to see you suggest even a hint of a proposed solution. Let me guess.... You want us to drastically ramp up our nuclear energy program, right? </sarcasm>
