When did I ever say I wanted government to dictate where we live? If you really think drilling will bring gas back down to $2/gallon, you’re delusional. This a problem of global supply and demand, and it’s only going to get worse. We need to ween ourselves off oil, not kick the can down the road.
The high prices are good because they’ll allow the market to figure out something more efficient much faster than any government program will. In fact, I’m glad there’s so much gridlock in Washington over this, because that will keep them from getting in the way of progress.
You didn’t. I did. And I’m not delusional. I agree with you on quite a few points.
Oh, wait...maybe I AM delusional, LOL! :)
Unfortunately, I'm all out of pixie dust. Drilling for oil will automatically bring gas prices down. It happened under Reagan, and it happened when Bush overturned his father's EO ban on offshore oil drilling.

Harry Reid, is that you?

Oil is a commodity, not an addiction. We need oil, not just for fuel, but it's used in thousands of other products as well.

You mean like ethanol, bio-fuels, and farts? Those efficient alternatives?
