I got some spam from an environmental group today... am I just being Beevis, or
does the subject line "Tell Congress not to drill our special places" seem more
suggestive than it should?

LOOSER.
We haven't snagged a drop of oil from our conquest.
I was speaking of drilling for oil in the frickin' USA dude!
If we don't drill - yes, we are held by the balls by countries that hate us.
It is a fact - we don't produce enough oil.
What are you laughing about?

Oh for F sake. Give it up already. Who gives a shit? Some other president would have done the same thing. "We invaded for oil! Squaaaaaaaaaaaack! We invaded for oil!"
Bosnia, Somalia, Libya, Nicaragua, Viet Nam, Korea, Operation Desert Storm...
Get the picture? That's 60 years of invasion without direct provocation. I guess we could go back and trade weapons for peace or, much like we did in the 70's and 80's, provide money and weapons to guerrilla fighters so they can defend themselves. Oh, hey! That worked out really well. They squashed the Russian invasion and turned on us. One set of fighters even used the weapons and money we provided to invade another smaller country. Now who could that have been?
Besides - there is more oil in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan. Let's not forget the oil mass under Siberia or the untapped depths of almost every ocean on the planet.

Even as a kid, I understood where fossil fuels came from and that they are non-renewable energy sources. Ok - so the entire free (and not so free) world runs on oil, a plentiful natural resource that we currently buy mostly from countries that are essentially contentious towards us. Why not drill in areas owned by the US? The natural resources are not just for the American animals in desolate frozen deserts - but the humans who inhabit this earth. Modern oil rigging is extremely safe, effective and protective of the environment. Why let the rest of the world hold us by our balls?
It reminds me of the idiots that dispute the environmental impact humans have on the planet. What idiots are disputing the environmental impact humans have on the earth? Many people do not believe the hoax that is global warming - there is no good science confirming that humans are actually warming the earth. In the mean time, we had better get some more oil of our own to regain control of our own energy destiny.
No matter what you say, the world runs on oil and there is no alternate fuel created yet capable of running cars, airplanes and heating homes. Period. So lets get to it, and get OUR oil from OUR land for OUR country.

heh. Since I put my e-mail on my profile, my spam has increased 100 fold. Big whoop. Spam filters are so good now, 1 in 10,000 gets through. SO a BIG to fuck you whoever is trying to get me. That's what's amusing though. This isn't spam. This is someone logging onto sites like The New Yorker, and filling out forms with my e-mail address in them.

Well, at least you get the comfort that when they do drill your special place, the oil will lubricate the process!

"I'm not implying anything or over simplifying. I am stating a fact. They are there to serve us, not serve themselves."
Yes technically you are correct, in theory this is how it is supposed to work. In practice, however, is this true? Aren't they all, more or less, selfish?
Also too, do they really defend the Constitution? Isn't that part of what they are technically supposed to do? Is that what they actually do?
I speak of this because of what I perceive as mass delusion of the notion that Congress is both serving us and defending the Constitution. There's a saying.... "Power is an end unto itself." It is the most powerful entity in the history of humanity.
I'll give one example.. http://www.kpfa.org/archives/index.php?arch=25142
That show talks about how the late 60s movement provoked a reaction by the authorities to essentially squash resistance. the fed's used the phrasing "spatial de-concentration dispersal of the urban poor as a counter insurgency strategy"
The government definitely has its own agenda, and often enough, that agenda is counter to that of its very populace from which its power is derived. Those in power want to keep it.

I've lived in cities with fantastic recycling programs - they took cans, bottles, glass, newspaper, chipboard, cardboard, clippings, etc. Currently, I live in a city that doesn't recycle a damn thing. Good. Between all the harsh chemicals used to de-ink paper, the lower durability of recycled paper, and the amount of energy required for the whole process, I'm not convinced that recycling paper is anything but a detriment to our environment.
The more recycled paper we use, the less trees that get planted.
I'm all for recycling glass, and especially metal products though.
(IANA Chemical Engineer, but I do know more about ink and paper than anyone here would ever care to know about)

"Woody," pleae seek psychological assistance.
I believe you are in great need of it and may very likely harm yourself or others.
You have no grasp on reality.
Or just STFU. KTHX.

It's true, though.
Even as a kid, I understood where fossil fuels came from and that they are non-renewable energy sources.
Yet, all these years later, what's been done?
It reminds me of the idiots that dispute the environmental impact humans have on the planet. Who doesn't know what smog is? Who wants pollution in their water? Radiation in their back yard? Why not? Where does all that crap come from?
But nobody seems to want to deal with anything. More than that, we cannot even begin to work on things because we cannot even acknowledge reality.
I've lived in cities with fantastic recycling programs - they took cans, bottles, glass, newspaper, chipboard, cardboard, clippings, etc. Currently, I live in a city that doesn't recycle a damn thing. You just throw all that trash in the garbage bag and, once it's in the dumpster, it just *magically* disappears.
/sigh
I think I do more than a lot of people, though I can always do more. However, I feel sooooooooo far into the minority that, in all reality, I have no impact on anything. It just sucks knowing we had the capability work against these things, we have the technology to start changing things, but we are still, as a majority, going "ZOMGWTFBBQ - how did this happen?"
Which, of course, turns into blaming the <insert: "Democrats" or "Republicans"> for everything.
Me? Hate humans? Not at all.
Noting even dogs know not to sh*t where they live,

So you are implying that by electing people into office that this makes them subservient to the people? Hah! It varies a lot, depending on many factors. You have over simplified things. I'm not implying anything or over simplifying. I am stating a fact. They are there to serve us, not serve themselves.

Hold on now. I didn't say anything like that. I'm just pointing out that we, as American's, keep voting in career politicians and liars. The 2 party system doesn't work like it did 60 years ago. It would be futile to believe that the system set up in 1778 still works the same as it does today.
