Bush/Obama I am getting pissed.

Anyway, about the only way this nation is going to continue on with its greatness is if people stop spending tons of time in front of the TV, video games, etc., and actually get interested in knowledge. Then, we might actually be able to do something at the voting booth.

I have to agree with Fabs that we, as a nation, are short sighted.....we ***** and complain about our dependency on foreign oil, giving our money to the A-rabs, blah, blah, blah......but we never try and develop alternative energy sources. Look at the dept of Energy....developed back in the late 70's/early 80's to solve the problem of dependency on foreign oil, it has accomplished NOTHING in the 30+ years it has been in exsistance......nothing at all! Talk about a waste. Don't know what their budget is, but I can tell you that if I had the power, that is one dept that would be disbanded immediately!
The there is the BP oil spill.....didn't we learn our lesson with the Exxon Valdez? Apparently NOT!
As long as we as a nation are 'entertained' with the crap that comes out of Hollyweird, then everything is "O.K."

....and lets add the 4-5 generations that have been on welfare and never worked a day in their lives. Does history repeat itself? I'm reminded of something about "Bread & Circuses".....and the fall of another great republic.
