glittagwen for pointing this out.
Gentle reader, I give you the following article for your perusal:
There Is No Gas Shortage by Ed Wallace.
It would seem to be yet more evidence that the government is not interested in doing what is best for the people, but rather for the corporations.
Growing up, I learned a good deal about American history. I learned to know and respect the following words:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.".
How can one honestly justify the actions of not only this administration, or any administration going at least as far back as Nixon, as being in line with the vision so eloquently put forth by our founding fathers? Justice? General welfare? Tranquility? Where are they?
Our founding fathers must be watching us from the other side and weeping.
How much more will it take, America? How much more will we allow to be taken from ourselves and our children? How much more until we rise up as one and say "Enough" and take back our lives, our futures, our country from the greedy and unscrupulous?
How much?
