    Dang,
    you guys have rescued me from a day of me being on an overly political rantorama!
    Ratt, Huey and Maiden.

    I think that pretty much defines eclectic.
    LOL…
    Yea, it seems we’re all BMXers…

    Plus, BIG OIL has to keep the stock holders happy by turning BIG PROFITS.

    Greed.

    Democracy works right up until the people who are voted into office realize they can vote themselves more money.

    Hell has a special place reserved for lobbyists who use gifts and money to get their agendas pushed through…

    Can someone get the chinese on the ball and just have them invent some type of engine that runs on like cheese or something?
    I man come on how long do we have to wait.

    The chinese have a few billion people…
    I understand the market principles of supply and demand, but what strikes me as weird in the case of oil, is the incredible swings it takes. I also know about the supposed bell curve of oil consumption and how some say we are close to peak oil production.
    It’s not the “price” that bothers me, it’s the wild fluctuations.

    Rod that is a good question…
    I mean look at the 4 guys who are discussing this right now.
    Different people completely but coherent on the same issues.
    (Brett about to go off on weird tangent here)
    Us BMX guys and guyettes are really different, we have spent our whole lives going up against mainstream America, we question everything, we don’t believe something can’t be done just be because somebody else says it can’t because we, meaning we as BMXers, have collectively BUILT OUR OWN SPORT from the ground up.
    We really are a bunch of nut jobs who live that stupid saying…
    “Some people see things as they are and ask why, and other people see things as they should be and say why not?”
    Except we say,
    This is the way we want and we’re gonna do it, now get out of my way.
    Please.
    Basically we are not tied into dogma.

    Did anyone see that bunch of BS when congress had “hearings” after the gas spike during katrina?
    The oil execs didn’t even show up…
    Do you know who owns Lukoil?
    Russia.
    Who won the cold war?

    hmmm, I’m thinking deeply here..
    has the system our forefathers created begun to break down, or is it our peers who are corrupting the system to their own ends.

    Do you know what saying bothers me.

    Knowledge is power.

    Knowledge is understanding and understanding leads to peace.

    Power, well we all know about the power thing.

    I seem to have touched a nerve with Adam…
    As angry as Adam’s post was and as succinctly put as Bill’s was, I’d have to say that we have 3 completely different individuals here who agree on 1 thing.
    Our government

    is

    detached

    from the people it is SUPPOSED to work for.

    Ok..
    On regular TV, certain things have to be on at certain times and you can’t “curse” unless under certain circumstances, nudity is a no no, extreme violence is ok as long as you don’t actually show it fully being done.
    On cable TV it’s go for broke!
    So….what is sort of being said here is that if you have money you have the ability to filter out what is good and bad for you without government control, (barring the “V” chip, haha!) but if you don’t have the money to pay for it you aren’t capable enough to handle these ideas unless someone “intelligent” i.e.: Oprah, Doc Phil, exposes you to it, or the government filters it out so nothing bad is exposed to you.

    I don’t get it, either censure all broadcasting or don’t.

    Bill,
    seriously does that not at times, drive you nuts?!
    I swear it’s why I have to hide my head at the track and pretend some of the craziness of our society doesn’t exist…

    And I still don’t understand this cable vs regular tv and satellite vs fm or am radio…
    Why is it that I have to PAY to get freedom of choice?….No wait that sounds sorta stupid…
    No on second thought it doesn’t, it seems elitist…
    I need to ponder this more…
