1. I am so far behind all this. I thought with the '70's problem some
one had done some thing. Better miles to the gal. smaller cars, lower speed and all that and not one Corp. in this country seemed to get it as the rest of the world move ahead. We had people run to bring the bigger cars back and up the speed, the whole mess. A lack of leadership that we are all paying for. I have bought a sm. car since the gas lines of yesterday but I am only one person and it hardly helps. When they slowed up the Ak. pipe line because the Oil Co. did not feel they were making enough profits you could see what was coming. It is our own fault for putting in those old time thinkers and old ways of doing things. Free for all capitalism does not work in a society as detailed and big as ours. It takes more than just getting into office. It will take us years to get the 'free-from-any-laws' type guys out of all our govt. dept. that Bush has put in and Clinton was not much better at it either. Just look at NAFTA and what is the other one? CAFTA? Some one should have been watching out for the people of this country and we like fools voting these people in.
