You must be a rocket scientist, because very few politicians can figure out your logic. Actually, politicians don’t want the US to be self sufficient.

Not sure if that was a slam or a compliment.

Regardless, I was a business/economics major, and have been in corporate production planning since 1972.

Certainly those of us not directly involved in the energy sector do not have all of the answers or solutions down to the gnat's eyelash; but conceptually, simple logic should lead us towards an obvious course of action addressing the current issues. And have learned lessons so that they do not occure again in the future.

The guy who said, "Those who have not studied history are doomed to repeat it," nailed it.

Sorry for the ranting but I'm so annoyed at the dumb mindless statements made by people being paid $160k+ who don't understand simple economics and planning.

O'Reilly is at the top of the idiot list. Did anyone hear him last night? "We need oil, not food."

Too bad O'Reilly's webmail would intercept this message:

I was slamming the politicians. You are on point. Thanks.

"O'Reilly is at the top of the idiot list. Did anyone hear him last night? "We need oil, not food.""

Not only did I hear him, I videotaped his embarrassing performance for my own personal archives. Karl Rove tried to explain reality to him, but O'Reilly is an uninformed populist, and he is merely reflecting what the vacuous pop-culture mentalities feel the case is. He gets his talking points from the majority opinion in the email he gets from his "fans".

Want to talk about "empty suits"!!! GAG!

Bill Oreilly Says We Don't Need Corn, and Other Food Staples?!?

You guys might profit from this post. It's long, but it's worth it.

I've tired of explaining how this works to screaming dupes.
