when I see the lazy rich mother driving her precious little Johnny two blocks to school each morning, IN HER HUMMER...I get a bit perturbed......I see tons of large pickups or suvs with ONE person inside.....

I don't think people have got the message yet...that or they are just too rich or too stupid to care.....

I want us to drill.....we need our own supply....not only for the oil, but the jobs that we'll have.....good paying jobs....

but I also think we need to reduce our energy use overall....if nothing more than to just save us some money......

I just don't like to see waste and we are wasting a lot....

I'm not against drilling per se, I just think it's far too late for that simplistic of a solution. People need to feel the pain of high prices in order to realize they need to cut back their consumption and so that the market may find a more suitable alternative. People will act in their own self-interest, even if they're a bit slow to react. The shock is still settling in for most people that this is a new reality.
