Fight the gas prices

Hi,

This is not in reply to any one person or post, but rather some general observations on the whole topic.

...

So, while I'm not arguing that there are no concerns, I am saying that the concerns are being addressed. People are, and have been, considering, developing, and testing solutions to all the problems discussed in this thread for quite some time now. Technological solutions for many of these concerns, especially the energy issue, exist. They are not greatly implemented because the vast bulk of the population are blithering idiots (the history of nuclear power in the USA is prima facia evidence of this). They are too ignorant to understand the issues, too lazy to study them, and too impatient to accept any solution the doesn't work overnight. They get the question wrong, then accept a simple, easy to understand, wrong solution. Evidence of this runs throughout the thread, mostly supplied by the usual suspects.

People get what they deserve, and the roaches *will* inherit the earth if people don't get smarter.

You've captured my thoughts as well. Ask 1000 people which is more dangerous, 100 lbs of U238 or a 100 lbs of coal ash. :) Yes, it's a trick question.

I think worse than the "vast bulk of the population are blithering idiots" are the silent intelligencia who know better, but choose to remain mute for political expediency and/or perhaps to keep their grant machine flowing. All we need is more human ingenuity to find solutions, market forces to exploit those that work, fewer lazy brains taking the crap they are fed without question, and schools that teach people HOW to think rather than WHAT to think.

Frankly, I'm more concerned about the effect that fascist imbecile Chavez will have on the price of oil.
