I don't know about "the masses". "Masses", I think, implies a potential threat. When there is a mass of people, they are almost always massed for something or against something.

I don't really want to argue with your examples. My point is that some things are truly necessary and some things are not. I think that not infrequently it takes comparatively little time to do things that are not necessary and for which the primary constraint is budget. On…
Off-shore drilling is not the solution to our energy problem. It is a great boon to oil companies but will do very little in moving us toward lessening our dependence on foreign sources.
What will do more is conservation of existing resources and the development of new types of energy…
I disagree with your conclusion. I think Obama very clearly is talking about "they", meaning the political machinery that is supporting McCain and opposing Obama. Of course McCain is linked to that, but he did not call McCain a…

USAPatriot,
Was that a question (?) or a statement (!).
If it was a statement, then I have a question for you: Why did you think that?

USAPatriot,
I agree with you except for your unfortunate example of the A-bomb. It took us 4 years to develop that at a time when we did not need it.
