Really, it's right up their alley if you look at it that way.
I'm so conservative, it would make your head spin..... Why do you think I ride? I'm broke!!!!!! (It just happens that my wife is a granola munchin hugatree

I believe Thomas Jefferson was right when he said "The Government that governs least, governs best". I also believe that if the government can spend $2BILLION
on a B-2 bomber that is too prescious to ever see combat, then the government can also fork out a billion or three on major science initiatives! They said going to the moon would cost something like $500 Million (to create a manned, perminant station).... There's four moon bases that just crashed on Guam the other day (A B2 crashed and burned about two weeks ago)
We need to throw a TON of money into Fuel cells, and a TON of money into Photovoltaic and Wind power... I personally believe that EVERY home in america should have solarcells and a power generating windmill... It should be required on every new home, and should be mandated on any home undergoing ANY refurbashment...... The technology is out there.... The American people just need a "push" to get it going (that push would also drive up production and drive down cost)
Sorry.....Got off track
