Dear John F: Sorry the actions of Mr. Gore demonstrates that "do as I say, but not as I do". Which really means, that he is doing this simply for political purposes and does not truly believe this tripe he states. You are right however that we need to focus, and that is, to drill and research alterative sources of energy.

As to the statements above about the economy: The economy is sputtering along. The last reading was that it only grew at a 1%. No economy can maintain growth indefinitely. That is not possible. Wake up. BTW: I lived through the Carter recession, this is a "cake walk" compared to that.

Why?

Dear ljeanwitt: Again it is name calling when the facts are against you. The word facist demonstrates your way of thinking. Don't you know that the left wing of the Democratic party is closer to the facist idology than the right wing of the Republican party? This is because the left is against the individual (It Takes a Village etc....)

As to the statement above the drilling can work and get the oil in three years not seven. The current pipeline is only 55 miles away. Your logic is: I will not take my medicine for heart disease because it will not help me now. Even though it will save your life three to seven years from today. How about feasible alternatives that will not destroy the Las Vegas economy?
