I don't remember agreeing to contribute financially to society.

Palin is an idiot, she's done. Barely hanging on to trying to be a celebrity now that Rupert has no interest left in her. Perry I find dangerous due to the Dominionist connection (see the preachers present at his recent prayer meeting). I won't vote for someone who thinks his god comes before my country. That's Perry, Bachmann, Palin.

You agree to spend when we elect officials to office. A challenge to the IRS years ago determined that you have to still pay taxes, even if you don't like everything the government does

I can't believe he came back, last time I think was February or March, he's been off for some months, I think. Yes, he would be better suited as my pet hack horse.

He wouldn't even be good at doing that. He can eat grass well however.

we agree to spend because we elect officials? lol not quite...but if that is the case, then we should have the option to keep an office vacant to avoid poor financial decisions by pols.
i think your logic here is flawed. our govt is supposed to be of, for, by...they are supposed to be good stewards of our resources. they are not supposed to be people who rule over us with heavy hands, telling the little people that they know best.

I'll be more pleased if he actually does allow more drilling, in addition to the pipelines, AND increase our refining capacity, AND get the drilling back in the gulf.

I'll be ecstatic if he gets drilling in ANWR.

More U.S. oil, less imports.

Each day, the U.S. uses about 21 million barrels of oil- more than any other country in the world.


It imports about 58% of it. Here’s where we get the oil.

11% Canada
11 Mexico
9 Saudi Arabia
8 Venezuela
7 Nigeria
4 Iraq
8 25 other countries

Not sure where your figures are from but they are a good bit off

Canada is far more important, OPEC is still heavily involved though.

US Department of Energy, but it doesn't list the years covered.

I like your chart that shows Canada is 21% of our imported oil (I thought it was more), Opec countries 49%.

There is no reason for us to use so much oil in this day and age - we go through it like crack cocaine addicts.

And you would know this....how?

Rita,dahling...were you ever one of the 6 Flags Over Texas?

Oooooooooo

[horseofcourse]

Does anyone here know if oil is a finite or infinite resource?

Does the infinity of lack of infinity of a resource determine any decision made regarding that particular resource??
