So much for "A very simple poll"! I happen to be one of those Californian, leftist environmental people you seem to think are bad. So you "want the country you remember as a kid" back, but you think protecting and preserving the environment is bad? "Do what needs to be done and believe we can take care of the mistakes"? I believe what needs to be done is a little forethought that prevents mistakes. Just like working on a car, you save a lot of trouble by doing it right the first time instead of trying to go back and constantly correct what you half-assed. I applaud people who ride bikes to work or drive hybrids. These are GOOD things! Now with that said, I believe we also have the right to drive our old, polluting, gas guzzelers, but we have to understand that with that right there is a cost. If we're not willing to pay that cost, we are lucky to have other options. I, for one, am willing to pay that cost. One of my cars is 42 years old and the other is 53 years old. If I didn't love old cars so much I would probably be driving a hybrid. One good thing about over-inflated gas prices is that it motivates car builders to build more efficient engines.bebop138 said:We are too dependent on middle east oil, AND the enviroment gang along with the leftist have strangled off shore drilling. They just did it again in California--they had a good liberial Judge stop them with an order to have a enviroment study, which take years. I am sorry but all these do gooders have to get their act together or we will all be riding bikes to work, if we don`t freeze to death this winter first. Life is a gamble--do what needs to be done and belive we can take care of the mistakes. Be an American and get er done! Just once I would like to see a President say stick it in your ass---where gonna do the the right thing for our USA and if you don`t like it---tough!! The country that I remember as a kid is slipping away and I want it back!!! God-motherhood-apple pie- and the flag!!!!!!!!!!! And if the ones who are moving in don`t like AMERICA-----------gooooo home!!
