Skinny,
We are dependant on oil because it is easy. If we had to, we could change our habits so that we do not use as much oil. I for one have stopped driving just for the heck of it (i.e., pleasure). Most of my driving has been work related lately, and usually my clients pay for the mileage. If all new vehicles sold were flex fuel vehicles and/or hybrids, we would have very little, if any, dependency on foreign oil.
Yes, we live in interesting times, but I would much prefer the good old boring times between the end of the cold war and 9/11. Seems as though Clinton had a cake walk, or maybe this is a result of Clinton's "cake walk."
