As long as your kid gets his, who gives a Shiite about anyone else right?

Just trying to be a "glass half full" guy.

Besides, a nation which refuses to develop its own resources has no right to complain about the price of imported resources.

Yep, but its much easier blame others, LOL.

Oprah nation!

Agreed. We are so asnine in this country, from the WH down to the dog catcher. No leadership, no vision, no action.

All we get from many party butt-kissers is as follows:

Blame the libs.
Blame the MSM.
Blame the RATS.

Blame Blame Blame.

Why not take the bull by the horns and just act? GWB did it to invade Iraq, why not on this?

But *we're* the ones who developed the majority of all the producing wells in the world ... something happened somewhere along the way where we lost control of the end results.

" ... Besides, a nation which refuses to develop its own resources has no right to complain about the price of imported resources."

How about you figuring out how to develop a few thousand tons, a year, of the following strategic materials, so we don't have to import them ...

Titanium

Nickel

Chromium

Cobalt

Aluminum

Colombium

and Tantalum

Thanks in advance.
