The cost of consumerism

"But the other thing that our Congress has got to understand is that it's in our economic interests that India have a civilian nuclear power industry to help take the pressure off the global demand for energy," the president said. "To the extent that we can reduce demand for fossil fuels, it will help the American consumer."

I like that idea.

Get everybody else to consume less oil so that we have more to put in the $hitboxes. Wonder if he thought of that by himself??

Sorta recalls Gary Cooper's reply to Ben Hecht when asked if he liked Ben's script,"sure,sure,just fine. I'm readin' it one word at a time.

Dang, and I thought this might be an interesting topic.

Instead it's yet another iteration of the same old tired-a$$ theme.

Probably, and from what I’ve read you have neither small thoughts nor a small mind. It would be great if you contributed more often…
