More Thoughts ABout Most Everything

It's natural for mankind to indulge in illusions of hope. We tend to shut our eyes against painful truth. That is why elected Barack Obama President. The facts that he is actually an ignorant (never had a job besides politics and doesn't really know how to do anything else nor how anything actually works, business or otherwise), arrogant (he treats the entire country like he deserves his position and it was made to keep him comfortable), narcissistic (never seen another politician stick his nose up in the air like BO nor treat other heads of state with such disdain), jackass bent on bankrupting America (he gave numerous speeches in which he told of his plans) were widely ignored, particularly by the MSM.

We are about to enter into a financial crisis that will make the 30's depression look like a cake walk. The American Dollar (which has been the standard of the world for nearly a hundred years) is rapidly decreasing in value. Prices of everything, food, fuel, power, and manufactured goods are rising rapidly but our current Administration continues to lie about inflation and its causes. I can't decide if that is stupidity or arrogance; maybe both.

North America has about 30% of the entire world's petroleum reserves, enough in our country alone to run us for the next 200 years according to a recent report done by our Fed. Dept. of Energy, but we can't drill for it on land or sea. There hasn't been a new refinery built here in more than 20 years. We still burn our corn as fuel instead of food despite the incredible inefficiency of it. (It take 1.5 times as much alcohol as gasoline to power an engine.) We could be refining more diesel fuel through agriculture and recycling oil based products but don't.

A reminder, diesel powers nearly all trucks and trucks deliver everything we use.

Nuclear power is amazingly cheap and incredibly safe despite the media hype about the Japanese "meltdown" (which isn't actually happening.) There has never been anyone killed by radiation from a power plant in the USA. Chernobyl Russia is the single example and they are famous for their lack of safeguards for anything. Life has little value in communist countries.  

BO and his minions want to build a highspeed rail system despite the fact that rail passenger service failed in the USA and no Railroad has made profits since prior to WWII. Since they don't drive cars, they don't realize we have an extensive road system.
