Caroline,

Like it or not, the government IS you and me. We ARE responsible for everything it does. If we don't like it, we have to take action rather than bitch about it which does nothing but acts as a consent on our parts for not stopping it.

Again, I repeat: The government IS us. It's ALL of us and we're all EQUALLY responsible, like it or not. Everything they do, they do in our names. It may suck.. you may hate those in office.. but it's still the truth.

It will take a group, probably even a small group, to be very PASSIONATE about an idea to push it forward. Small groups of people acting that way are the only ones who have ever changed anything in the world. I put this idea out to challenge all of you to think about this. Is my idea perfect? Nope. None will be. For every single decision that is made, someone will benefit and someone else will lose. That's the nature of the world. So there will ALWAYS be SOMEONE against everything. There will always be a downside to even the best plan ever. Without us taking on some serious pain and restraint, this will continue to spiral. As I have stated before, the result of the spiral will be another world war. This time with 8-10 countries with nuclear weapons to rattle. Right now we're essentially fighting Iran directly through their surrogates and in some ways you can throw Russia and China into that fold. They supply weapons and support to terrorists all around the world.. and the ones they DON'T supply.. guess who does? The good old USA and our closest allies.

The solution is to turn within ourselves and solve the problem completely using USA technology, workers, funding and sweat equity. Then we sell that tech and process to the world and put that money back into our own infrastructure. Once off oil, the savings across the board will allow other types of transportation to be improved. Electric commuter trains etc. It will also lower the price of the gas we DO need so that Airlines will be able to stay solvent and lower ticket prices.

It's about time the USA takes ownership of our future and does something significant to regain our status and standing in the world as the leaders who do the right thing. It's been a while since it has felt that way.
