We have so much oil of our own, but they won't let them drill

it's getting harder to drill those beause the permafrost is melting.

[aldo]

Its gonna melt sometime, lol. Plus, they don't really have to drill in Alaska, I could be wrong, but I think there are other places around us then just Alaska

[tallfreek]

plenty. tree huggers wont let us though. then they complain about high gas prices. doesnt matter if they drive a prius or not, a gas tank is just as expensive to fill up in a prius as it is in another car with the same size tank. just doesnt fill it up as often.

So I just got back. I went for the crowd, not necessarily the politicians, and it was exhilarating. And it reinforced my dislike of both of them
Obama does seem to be the better speaker; he's bold, he's assertive, and all that... and McCain seems to be a lot more reserved in speech, but makes much more practical proposals. Both left huge holes in their answers, but that's what politicians are supposed to do anyway

[aldo]

Lol. I am an independent, and I never really like either side, though I always seem to lean to the republican side

[inp o҉rtb]

Though if you're independent, you lean not towards a faction, but towards a candidate; once you start to favor a particular faction, you start to lose your independence
(I'd be independent as well.)

[aldo]

Then I guess I am an independent at the beginning, lol. Keeps my mind open

[Warlock]

I doubt there is such thing as the ideal politician. Some are just worse than others. In my opinion, America would do better with someone like Obama, rather than someone like the Nazi Mccain. But the true president for 2008 is... Jerry! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yby18EtQGN4

There is enough oil in Alberta to supply North America with fuel for 200 years, they just won't go whole hog into it.

still don't get the plane analogy, neither candidate have the experience to be president, the bee itch from Alaska has no right to be candidate for VP,

Joe Byden for prez!!!!!!!

Well, let's all get a prius

And the nuke button probably needs a hour-long delay to actually detonate, so you do have a good chance of disarming it

What would you prefer, a inexperienced airplane pilot who *tries* to do a good job, or an experienced one paid to crash the plane?

If we don't starve ourselves of fuel, we have no real motivation for finding/using alternatives. Scientists/Engineers are intrested in the possibility of finding a fuel when everyone is desperate, owning the entire industry, making huge profits. That's what they're after. the huge profits. If gas was cheap, the profits would be tiny, likely lower than the R&D cost. No alternatives take off, because they end up more expensive than gas (nobody wants to buy a new car when they just got a perfectly good one).

No the nuke button dose not have an hour-long delay it takes 30 minutes for a ICBM to retch its target, and you have to decide with in 20 minutes how to respond. But if the target has a good SAM/AA system no problem they can intercept it.     

[aldo]

lol, thank you

Plus, they would never have a delay system anyways, because it would need to be done when they want to, not when they want to +1 hour. But of course, it takes more then a button to launch a nuke xD

[tallfreek]

yup it takes 2 lol

The problem with Alberta is that the Oil is in Bitumen and its very expensive to first dig it up and then you need to process it with Natural Gas and that drives the cost up even more, and you get a ugly hole in the ground. And they only reason Alberta is even developed are they high cost of oil and the cost will rise even more do to high demand on Natural gas for heating. Alberta is there for no good long-term solution, hydrogen would be the best fuel, if you produce it in let say Iceland you have unlimited of cheap energy and you can make hydrogen from water and then ship it or make it from the suns energy and ship it from some ocean  and the electric car are again best and the combustion engine are soon history.

She was a good strategy she seems to win over Clinton´s votes on her side, but her ideas are very scary. McCain should have nominated Obama as VP it would have been a good combo 

I heard/saw that NYSE Euronext still has G.W Bush/Dick Cheney for president banner up on the wall .

If I would run for President I would nominate my opponent VP in exchange for the same deal
