The problem is most of our petroleum imports go to motor fuel and,
Americans simply refuse (other than a tithe of weirdos "Liberals" and
other assorted Unamerican dweebs) to make any of the necessary
behavioral, purchasing or use pattern changes necessary to reduce our
fuel consumption.

It's even worse than you think. I used to think the refusal to change
was a matter of laziness, until I asked someone why he was considering
a huge pickup truck, even though he towed nothing and hauled nothing -
no need for such a vehicle. His response was that this was America and
he had a god-given right to own anything he wanted.

Well,that IS the truth.It's supposedly a free country.
It's their money to spend.

I dodn't know that God gave rights to vehicle ownership. Is that in
Leviticus or James?


Or are you one of those who believe that government should determine what
people can or can't own?

I think common sense should dictate that. Unfortunately little of that is
around.

(I drive a small fuel-efficient car,BTW,only owned one "large" car in my
life. )
