if you are so concerned about people, liberal or conservative, starting wars for oil?

then why don't people take responsibility to reduce oil dependence?

Stop using plastic containers and baggies that are all made out of petroleum. Stop buying cheap plastic toys and walk or ride your bike. Turn your heat down. There are a million things that can be done and none of them have anything to do with liberal or conservative anything.

Why are we still talking about our non functioning government and not taking responsibility for ourselves?

Update:

actually very few of the things I own are made of petroleum, I make sure of that on purpose. You just accuse me of this because it makes you feel better. However that doesn't answer my question. Typical. people want to ***** but they don't want to solve things

Update 2:

Ok Ron Ray- who will you choose to force sterilization on?

And it would only take a while because nobody will do it. However you guys have answered my question very well :-) so thank you

    Good points but until something greener is put in front of people they will use what is available, like bio-degradable bags these are out there now. But cheap and renewable fuel is in no way cheap enough only the privileged can afford it, unless you are an inventive and able to use something homemade and be more resourceful that way.

    If people put their mind to it there are plenty of things to recycle or re-use and with the economic and soon apparent fuel crisis it will be forced on all of us anyway, but the elite will be alright Jack, because they looted most of the resources already.

    we do what we can

    if the government and those in charge dont do enough, we cant do enough

    we dont have the power, we have some, not all, they have the rest, and they are the ones in charge

    and those million things, wont save the earth or environment, which is why it is irrelevant, they make a tiny dent, we need to change, everything, we do and are

    that, is again soemthing the government needs to take control over and deal with

    "people want to ***** but they don't want to solve things"

    i dont think thats true

    but theres a difference between wanting to and being able to

    And with your tried and proven ideas, in about two hundred years they will make a real difference.

    How about population control?

    Half the population we have now would automatically use half the resources.

    Btw, we can address the population problem now, by choice, or we can wait until it is no longer a choice.

    No sterilization needed. A one child policy for two generations will cause the population to reduce by two-thirds.

    It doesn't matter anyway, as I said, now by choice, or wait until there is no choice.

    When there is no longer a choice, it ain't gonna be pretty.

  • Iraq was about vengence (proper legal terminology for justice) all the paperwork is in either latin or french but all it says is da dar da dar da dar da da dar dar da dar dar dar da da dar... (rough translation) so here's the history:

    1993 Saddam, bored of his t1t for tat political assasination war with Syria decides to target ex Pres Bush Snr for kicking him out of Kuwait, ten years later country taken for oil and Saddam executed by lawyers outraged by the prospect of people suffering.
