You have a point. I do understand that with large families you need a larger vehicle. But will you please stop with the “Are Forced abortions and sterilization in your plan as well?” You sound silly when you write like that.
Besides, you treat me as if I was some big government leftie. Does “Tom the Redhunter” sound leftist to you?
All I’m trying to do is find a way to stop sending our money to the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states. I’m trying keep Iran and Hugo Chavez from making so much $ from oil.
At least “businessprofessor” has an idea, he says that the private sector can solve the problem. I’ve got some questions for him about this, but at least he’s trying.
So Jotmo, what’s your idea for getting us off of foreign oil so that we aren’t sending so much money to those who are trying to destroy us?
Ridding us from dependence on foreign oil is a worthy goal, but no matter what your cause, any response short of "Americans should be free to drive what they want, and it's none of the governments business." is deserving of ridicule and scorn.
To answer you question, nuclear power plants and domestic oil production for a significant chunk of the problem. But that alone won't do it. The real answer is to make our enemy's so frightened of us, that they would not dare cross us in any way. It can be done. we just need the will and fortitude to do what is necessary.
