Zero,

Not sure if you were talking about me but I' not worried about being rich, I just want to be free. Free to participate in government retirement insurance or not to participate. I would like to be free to buy a car that uses as much or little gasoline as I chose.

I want you to be free too. Free to live in a commune if you chose. Free to believe that the oceans are rising. Free to not eat red meat. Free to use only wind energy. Free to send your glass and plastic garbage to the dumb in seperate truck. Free to not associate with evil rich people.

I'd rather be rich too. Freedom comes with being rich, you get both. Besides what is wrong with red meat? We were made to eat meat.

And, recycling is a waste of time. Gets rid of jobs.
 
Eagle, while you and your fellow socialists are crossing your fingers and toes for low oil prices lets hope good American investors are allowed to drill and produce the domestic oil we need.

You can drill all you want it won't get you anywhere. The easy oil has already been found, what is left is difficult and expensive to get, oil prices need to adjust up to the 80-100 dollar range to make it viable for these investors to increase the capturing of these oil reserves. The moral to this story is we want oil to stay at 50 or less and the only way to do that is to heavily influence americans into being more efficient. How do you influence people to be more efficient? Gas tax would be a great start......5 dollars a gallon gas while oil is 40 per barrel for mass transit folks ie airlines. In other words you can have your SUV but it will cost you. Or you can trade in your 16 mpg SUV for a 50 mpg diesel Jetta and boooom 5 dollar a gallon gas is more like 1.70 dollar a gallon gas. Airlines would flurish because we would finally have a stable gas price at a low price.......NOW THATS USING YOUR BRAIN.......but wait all you neoconservative Rush listeners have a closed brain so you won't understand.......
 
We lost 118 million for the fourth quarter. Down to 340 million in cash. One more quarter like this and I think we might have to go into bankruptcy! Discuss.

yet you can buy a ticket on them for less than $200. They even got the non-stop prices listed for cheaper. All that makes a lot of sense.

Times before FL were so much better.......open planes to commute on, pensions, higher wages, better work rules- good luck with that now.
 
" Free to send your glass and plastic garbage to the dumb in seperate truck."

Hmmm, a new concept... "The Dumb Truck".

However, I don't envision it being used to send recyclables to the dumb. Rather, we could use fleets of them to collect the dumb for "recycling".

I think we might want to back one up to FI.com and fill 'er up.

Its kinda funny how people forget that we never really had to deal with Iran because of Iraq. Having a strong Iraq that hated Iran was really a pretty good thing. Now, we have an Iraq that could never stand up to Iran, and Iran is building nukes.... IMO, Ill take Sadam back any day. At least then we don't have to worry about a nulcear Iran...

Most Iraqis would agree with you that Sadam was a good thing. It will take 30 years to undo the mentality of this generation of Iraqis. They did not fight for the independance. It was shoved down their throat. The only respect for government that Iraqis have is based on fear. Just ask your local Iraqi in the U.S., like I have, how Americans don't "respect" their government and you will understand what I am talking about. They equate fear with respect.

Maybe the younger generations will learn to appreciate it, but I doubt it. Religion is the center of their beliefs. Islam is a spitefull religion that promotes destroying others (infidels) that do not believe what you do instead of loving them inspite of what they believe.

I am afraid history will look back on this war as destabilzing the region and a waste of American blood.
 
The last 2 oil bubbles were 30 years apart. 1974 and 2004. If you think oil will go above $100 in the short term history has proven you wrong.

The only reason oil went that high was speculation, and fraud. Supply and demand had absoluting nothing to do with price. If you got the lastest email from s.o.s it as a report on how the bubble happened due to lack of oversight. Oil was trading by hedge fund CEOs negotiating the price in their basements of their houses. lol

I have never seen such government failure in my life time since what I read about the Stock market in 1929.

Islam is also a very peaceful religion. One needs to read some history. Tunisia comes to mind 98 percent muslim and they live side by side with the Jewish population of the country which has complete freedom of religion.
 
I for one do not walk around with BLINDERS! The comment the poster made was that the current president was going to make it worse. That is a IGNORANT statement regardless of what political party you are affliated. He has only been in office one week. So we don't know what is going to happen. Give the man a chance. That is all I was saying. Because you don't like the man is your problem if that is what you are getting at. He is the current president. Give him a chance to try and fix the problem.
I don't need a clue from you, I'm well aware of what is going on right now!

Who pissed in your Wheaties????
 
Spitfire....you gotta understand, all the treehugger liberals are on a sugarbuzz because their "savior" got elected. They've been so thoroughly brainwashed by the news media that defending the Fresh Prince of DC is as automatic as breathing for them. Wait until 2 or 3 years from now when he's made an even bigger mess and you won't hear so much hot air.

Wonder when he's gonna put spinning rims & fuzzy dice on Air Force One???

The above is EXACTLY why Obama was elected...after the last 8 years of Bush we need to undue this bigoted "Rush" right-wing talk radio style crap. Too bad your racism and ingrained stereo types are driving your sorry existance. I'll "pray" for you.....

ps., I'm a white guy from the midwest and I eat meat and drive an American car.....believe it or not we are not all McCain biggots out here.
