Ninety Five Dollars A Barrel

The speculators are having a field day. The environmentalists are smug. The lobbyists are celebrating. And we, well we are digging deeper and waiting for our representatives to protect the goose that lay the " golden egg". Gold is at $800 an ounce, and the dollar is declining. Congress is so involved in the struggle for power that they started a year early. I'm not sure they are aware of their surroundings.

We have oil and coal. We also have the technology to build and operate nuclear power plants. There is oil shale in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming and we now know how to process it. Opposing that will probably be the next environmentalist movement and perhaps foreign interest groups will be spreading cheer throughout Washington, D.C.

Some way, some how this cycle has got to be broken. We need to vote "better". We need to get involved and demand "better". We are "We the People". It is up to us -- our responsibility to manage congress: to elect selfless people to serve, not so many lawyers, a term or two and make room for new thinkers.

Let us take our country back. Let me know what you think.
