Keep it coming Pink Lantern. You're doing a good job of articulating your fellow leftists' philosophy. It helps us keep focus.
Free speech and all that, you know.

I can tell from the 'tude behind your post that you and I aren't going to agree on much, but I can see you are on of the mature ones around here. Obviously you not one of those nancy boys that duck the arguement when it comes up.
So lets have it out.
The real problem, the reason why we are in a world of hurt over in the middle east is that we consume way too much without planning for the future. We piss away most of what we get... then we take from little countries leaving them in poverty so we can consume thier resources.
The soldiers we have over ther have REAL balls. They don't have to pretend to be tough or brace they are. I sure as hell didn't have the balls to go.
My point is this: We owe it to our soldier not to piss away thier lives to allow the wealthy few to live in wasteful luxury.
What do I wanna see? I want to see market driven incentives (not taxes) for energy reform. How about NO ROAD FUEL TAX on biodiesel for 10 years? That would do something, hell it would even make your H1 cheaper to drive...
How that for a flaming liberal? We're not all stupid you archie bunker wanna be. We just admit we care about people and want a community.
Real me aren't afraid to face the facts. War for oil is our own fault. Should we win... yeah we sort of have to at this point. But we should at leasst TRY to make sure we don't have to piss away the lives of our men in uniform.
They matter most. Even if they do come from the ranks of the disproportionally poor.
The ball is in your court....
