Dont forget, if they took the taxes away from gas, they would just tax you on something else.

The government doesnt lower taxes.

If the government really cared about you they would ban tobacco products. But they never will because of the taxes they get from them. It is kind of funny they raise taxes on cigs to help pay for medical cost, but didnt ban it. And if they did they would raise taxes on something else.

The US has more oil in reserve than it uses in production. There are 176 federal oil reserves nationwide each holding 4x the amount that the larger refineries such as exxon and motiva use in a 5 year span for production purposes. places like Big Hill reserve in winnie texas are veritable fortresses. I had to work there when i was doing fire safety and inspections and it takes them 2 hours just to check you in the front gate. soldiers, dogs, background checks, practically dismantling my company truck. the funny thing is that this reserve is in the middle of BFE in winnie Texas and most residents in the area don't even know that it is there.

There is no oil shortage in the US. The oil is just being boggarted while our government tries to buyout other countries supplies so that we will have a future monopoly on the market.

There are still many drillable areas in the US but we won't use them due to the fact that our government has been trying to corner the oil market for years and us tapping those resources is counterproductive to the goal.

o btw dont vote mccain, he is emperor palpatine. just take along look at him if you dont believe me

Helemoto, you just hit the problem right on the head. Oil shouldnt be treated any differently than any other industry, but you just summed up in one short post about half of the basic underlying structural problem in this country... the other half being govt spending.

Because they are harvesting their entire corn product for bio fuel they clean up all the remains of the corn that is typically left and will saturate back into the soil. When they aren't harvesting their corn for bio fuels what they harvest the remains are left on the ground to reabsorb into the soil which helps to provide the soil with nutrients and keep it a renewable source along with other means of conservation.

Maybe some, but alot wont do that simply because many farmers
can actually think ahead. That, or they just grow peanuts - and other crops that actually act to reinvigorate fertility.

I'll have to get you the article but you'd be surprised. It was a discussion that had came up in our class was pretty interesting hehe.

It would be an interesting article. I live in a state that is one of the main producers of the corn you are talking about. I see year to year how they harvest and they still do the same as always.

If you watch the combine it shots everything but the corn out the back into a spreader that, well spreads the remains about the ground.

Then they use special tillers that help to prevent soil erosion. This also pushes some of the spread into the soil.

Then after winter is over they till the land for planting.

I talk to lots of farmers due to the fact that some are my friends and some I want to hunt on the land they own. But I would like to see the article you are talking about, and my farmer friends would be interested also.

IMO: McCain started off quite early with low blow mud slinging. He brought out an affair with one of the candidates who has now dropped out -- ... now how is it that no one hears about HIS misfortunate seduction? McCain's ex wife was a beautifull model who was involved in a pretty serious car wreck .. she was disfigured and required a lengthy recovery .. during this time our politician was out having a fling, and later divorced his wife and married the woman he is with now! Hmmm now doesnt that make you wonder?

he wants to keep us in war, put us further in debt, make the rich richer, eliminate the middle class and put the entire country into depression. We are on our way there now, if we dont do something radical here we all are going to have some hard times ahead.

Hilary, I'm not even going to touch on that one. All i can say is she is a froot loop!

Brought this thread from the dead. Now that we have the game set we could start a new one.

Yes Obama wants us to be a socialist country I agree with you on that.
I think of McCain as one of the guys from Grumpy Old Men.
