From Charles Krauthammer: “You want more fuel-efficient cars? Don't regulate. Don't mandate. Don't scold. Don't appeal to the better angels of our nature. Do one thing: Hike the cost of gas until you find the price point. Unfortunately, instead of hiking the price ourselves by means of a gasoline tax that could be instantly refunded to the American people in the form of lower payroll taxes, we let the Saudis, Venezuelans, Russians and Iranians do the taxing for us -- and pocket the money that the tax would have recycled back to the American worker.”

Duh!!! Why do we continue to be so dumb as to elect legislators who also are so dumb (and/or corrupt)?!
Various factors in our environment associate with our evolution to Hominus-Benumbed-Amongus:
1. Skill sets for using short term scamming techniques to bribe and appeal to base addictions continue to breed and to improve faster than mature responsibility can set;
2. Car and oil businesses, led by cynics who flourish by seeking only their own golden parachutes, benefit economically in the short term by perpetuating our Pavlovian addictions;
3. Powers-that-be are not really especially concerned to lift the ignorance that keeps both educators and students under thumbs and easy control;
4. Die hard socialists remain addicted to recruiting progeny to be conditioned and numbed to drink the hair of the dog of the Marxist religion, keeping us high on salvation though governmental regulation, drunk to solutions that could actually work.
We wanna become just as mass-anaesthetized to reality as the alcohol seeped Russians. We can't handle the truth, so staying intoxicated is easier than thinking. Passing laws and regulating makes the be-numbed among-us feel better, even as it allows our handlers to perpetuate their control.
Tastes great; less filling! Join the rave!
Comment: Impose tariffs on foreign oil; impose export taxes on home produced oil; increase fuel taxes; encourage alternative development of nuclear, solar, and wind power; encourage development of more resources and refineries at home. Grow up!

Quotes snipped from http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/22/opinion/22friedman.html?em&ex=1214452800&en=9e18876aa91d9df1&ei=5087%0A :
It’s as if our addict-in-chief is saying to us: “C’mon guys, you know you want a little more of the good stuff. One more hit, baby. Just one more toke on the ole oil pipe. I promise, next year, we’ll all go straight. I’ll even put a wind turbine on my presidential library. But for now, give me one more pop from that drill, please, baby. Just one more transfusion of that sweet offshore crude.”
....
This from a president who for six years resisted any pressure on Detroit to seriously improve mileage standards on its gas guzzlers; this from a president who’s done nothing to encourage conservation; this from a president who has so neutered the Environmental Protection Agency that the head of the E.P.A. today seems to be in a witness-protection program. I bet there aren’t 12 readers of this newspaper who could tell you his name or identify him in a police lineup.
Drilling in ANWR
Go to Snopes.Com, "drilling in ANWR" to see what they say...in part:
FIRST¦ do you know what ANWR is?
ANWR = Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Now A comparison
And some perspective
NOTE WHERE THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AREA IS
(It's in the "ANWR Coastal Plain")
THIS IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, LIBERALS AND "GREENS" SHOW YOU WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT ANWR
and they are right these ARE photographs of ANWR.
ISN'T ANWR BEAUTIFUL? WHY SHOULD WE DRILL HERE (AND DESTROY) THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE?
WELL THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE TRUTH.
Do you remember the map?
The map showed that the proposed drilling area is in the ANWR Coastal Plain.
Do those photographs look like a coastal plain to you?
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE¦
THAT IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE WANTING TO DRILL!
THIS IS WHAT THE PROPOSED EXPLORATION AREA ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE WINTER
AND THIS IS WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE SUMMER
HERE ARE A COUPLE SCREEN SHOTS FROM GOOGLE EARTH
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE AREA WHERE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DRILLING IS A BARREN WASTELAND.
OH AND THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EFFECT ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE
HERE IS A PHOTO (SHOT DURING THE SUMMER) OF THE
"DEPLETED WILDLIFE" SITUATION CREATED BY DRILLING AROUND PRUDHOE BAY
DON'T YOU THINK THAT THE CARIBOU REALLY HATE THAT DRILLING?
HERE'S THAT SAME SPOT DURING THE WINTER.
HEY, THIS BEAR SEEMS TO REALLY HATE THE PIPELINE NEAR PRUDHOE BAY *
Who are we enriching?

From http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/08/post_109.html :
Apparently a NYT columnist is in denial over fact that the spot market oil price has dropped 20% in three weeks since President Bush removed the Executive Branch's ban on offshore drilling.
