  Skipthesong: Moving personal transportation away from oil is not 'a different viewpoint'; it still fits into conserving resources, and obviously if you're going to move away from oil you're going to have to use something to replace it, which is going to be an alternative source of energy. That's still…

  Helter_Skelter: Ummm... Military Spending is NOT 'social welfare'.

  skip: No worries, amigo. That's what talking about this kind of thing is for, in part, clearing up any misunderstandings and/or ill-will (regardless of which side it comes from, if not both). You see? talking, even on the smallest level, works well.

  I agree with you on the all-or-none thing…

  sailwind: "Where is he going to get the cash? You can only tax the rich so much."

  Where do drilling teams, contracts for rigs, and payment for staff, etc. get their money? Where is the money going to come from to pay for all the drilling when the drilling's not…

  Nessie: "Bingo, Bebert. You hit it on the head. It's disheartening to see Obama, who taught the Constitution, treating the Constition so cavillierly."

  Is it? Well, then, if you are for eliminating the executive powers of the President, I hope to heck that includes the Veto power. Lest we forget,…

  skip: Nice FIRST reply to the posts above.

  "However, I still wish people, particularly young girls have sex a bit more responsible."

  Agreed, though I think it's equally up to both the male and female party to educate themselves (and society to educate them!) and use protection, etc. Since that's…

  Everton: Agreed. Change comes through dialogue and understanding at the grassroots level; not from threats, sanctions, and/or war. The proof is in plenty of places, and now a whole lot of them are coming around thanks to Obama. Cuba can also be another of those places that stops being stubborn…

  Caveman: I didn't notice you said a similar thing about 'earning their fates' as Helter (albeit it, in a much less self-righteous tone). As I said to him, you don't earn death from abuse. You earn punishment, for sure, but not with your own life as the cost... And anyway,…

  Helter: "Best wait to find out what kind of abuse might of occurred. For all we know, his father and father's friend got what they deserved."

  That's a pretty sick viewpoint. I most certainly agree that the abuse factor should be looked into; but you're saying that if they abused…

  skipthesong: "you are joking about the trash can I hope"

  I'm afraid not; at least not when it comes to the embryos created for people with difficulties conceiving. You see, when they undergo attempts at in-vetro fertilization I think the way it works is that various eggs are fertilized and…
