Fossil fuels are still providing the energy to drive our cars, trucks, buses, trains, motorcycles, lawn mowers, tractors, weed eaters, chainsaws, rototillers, boats, airplanes, heating our houses, fueling our factories, generating electricity so "Green Energy" people can re-charge their electric cars...and so you can turn on your computer and make comments on articles you read.
It would be wonderful if we could wean ourselves off fossil fuels, but it won't happen anytime soon. With the lifestyle we have, we are too embedded in consuming energy at warp speed while new technology is just not convenient or economically feasible yet.
Sounds like the brat kids I saw today at a store going through shelves of toys and throwing them on the floor and laughing. The floor manager approached them and pointed to the door. They laughed and skipped out the door. The manager said they are not allowed in without their parents, but they seem to sneak in anyway.
After I made my purchase and walked out, I found the same kids loitering around the entrance with their bikes laying on the sidewalk and forcing people to walk around them. I told them the next time I come to the store and see their bikes here laying around, I'll load them up in my truck and take them home. The kids grabbed their bikes and took off.
You either follow Federal guidelines or you lose your money. What a form of blackmail our government has developed. And it just goes on and on and on...
Those living in the high crime areas are not going to turn in anyone. They have to live there and face the possiblities of retaliation against their home, their families, their children.
Outsiders who come into the neighborhoods are treated as either the enemy or as "opportunities". Come on folks. We all know what's going on here, but we turn and look the other way because its easier and we don't want to offend anyone. So, look what we have done!
There is so much wrong in so many places, no amount of marching or action commitees will resolve the issues. These issues have taken generations to develop and they have developed not only thru poor parenting, but also from liberal government policy (or inaction) as well as plea bargaining and our liberal court systems.
We continue to turn the other cheek to give second and third chances, but how much longer can this go on? Are we really doing others any good by being so liberal? We now have a monster on our hands and it is causing the decline of society all across America.
Drilling gas wells does not affect water wells. That is what I was told years ago by a gas drilling operator on our family estate's farm.
We had 2 home water wells go bad soon after the operator "fracked" their well with dynamite. The gas company said, "You can't prove that our gas well caused your water wells to go bad." Later, that gas company went out of business and left the mitigation of the defunct gas well to the next owner of the well, who simply turned it into a "reserve pool", since it was connected to Dominion East Ohio lines.
Eventually, someone will have to cap many of these older gas and oil wells, but they continue to push the problem off to the next owner to avoid the costs.
Meanwhile, our water wells on the property are permanently damaged. Water wells that at one time were very good wells for many, many years now smell of sulphur and go dry quickly if you use too much water.
Obama loses luster in Iowa
Ageed. We are in a real crisis. The important consideration is to not give anyone a free ride for another 4 years.
I would rather let someone else try, than to award the current politician another 4 years. He is just too dangerous for our future.

Is GOP trying to sabotage economy to hurt Obama?
Its far easier to point the blame on Republicans and deflect lack of action and broken promises by the President.
When he made all those promises to get himself elected back in 2008, he also promised to work with Congress.
We have seen just the opposite from him and rather than working with Congress he has declared them the enemy.
So much for leadership we can believe in.
