I am a hard working American who keeps to himself but is frustrated with the direction society has taken us.  Everyone is offended by something, we have freedom of speech and press but unlike our fathers, we seem to be unable to exercise it.  The gas/environmental crisis is a issue that worries me.

 

Many opinions I read or hear bother me on their face but I respect that individuals point of view and attempt to see it from their angle.  But as society moves forward there is an obnoxious flavor that their view is correct and everyone else is dumb.

 

Al Gore and his scare the world under water tactics are a prime example.  Mr. Gore engulfs the public with his blubberings of how we need to reduce fossil fuels and protect the environment and, agreeing something needs to be done, I do not want the government to come at me with this holier than thou attitude.  Shouldn't Mr. Gore reduce his "carbon foot print" by selling the mansion and the Gulf Stream before telling little ole me that I cannot drive my SUV.  This might motivate us to take action.

 

The unfortunate truth is our Framers of this Greatland designed the U.S.A. so we could do what we wanted under general laws and provisions.  Gas prices will continue to rise and I have made a choice to drive my truck and if I have to pay higher prices, so be it.  Our current leaders are quick to tell us the luxaries we have to forefeit but ther keep their same lifestyles.

 

Democrats preach that the are the stewards of the American Public and the time is here.  If they truly cared about the American public, the environmental movement would be placed on the back burner and the oil supply would rise and prices would fall. 

 

Let's move foreward, I am holding my public officials accountable, are you.

 

Success is not the actions of one, yet the hard work of many.
