Wrongo bongo. It's humourous to read how left of center dreamers feel they can deny us transportation choices. We will drive what we want, when we want, and where we want. Maybe you might go back to Cuba where they toe the communist line. There they achieved removal of cars so that horses are the mode of transport for all but Castro's henchmen.

Left of center dreamers? Congratulations, right of center corporate puppets, you are killing the planet--not only with the emissions that come from burning fossil fuels but the environmental damage that comes from an incessant thirst for more oil--and stifling real progress in finding alternative energy sources and methods of transportation. Europe has gasoline prices significantly higher than America, and they seem to get by. Why? Because they have efficient public transportation. You can hop a train virtually anywhere in Europe and arrive quickly, cheaply and safely at your destination. Can't say the same here in a America. Perhaps that famous American 'independence' that has served us so well for generations may ultimately be our downfall.

Go ahead continue paying $100 to fill your tank to drive perhaps a hundred miles. Yeah, why not drive a 10 ton lump of steel to carry your 200 pounds around. You'll probably never drive on anything but a highway, and if you ever did decide to go off-road you would probably fall off a cliff or roll over after hitting a rock. And if it snows? Let's face you will probably use that as an excuse to stay at home like the rest of us. Or try driving on ice and discover that oops SUVs don't drive all that well - on any surface - and join the rest of the losers wrapped around trees or running over smaller cars or worse pedestrians.

George W. Bush's speech was such a pathetic rehash of his failed policies that it put me to sleep before the end and I live on west coast!

What a windfall for Halliburton. Now instead of $2500 credit card purchases without any competitive bidding, they get $250,000 "single" purchase contracts. And what about Dick"Go F**k Yourself"Cheney's phone call to repair the oil lines for an oil company rather than providing fuel for generators to operate hospitals in the flooded areas. Yup! it seems like we have our priorities straight.

Most of ya'll have been brain washed by the left and politically correct and live in a fantasy world. Out here in "fly-over land" some of us have to drive 30 miles to go to WalMart, pull trailers (the work kind, not RV), and have more than 2.5 kids. I'm not getting into some sort of boxy, little tin import no matter what kinda of song and dance you do. By the way, my 2002, F250, supercrew, diesel, 4 X 4, pickup truck gets almost 20 mph. My fuel would be cheaper if Texas wasn't shipping fuel to ya'll.

Who Are The Real Looters?

Mr. Robert Person of Madison, Wisconsin thinks the real looters in every disaster are the gas and oil companies. He writes in a letter to the editor of the Capital Times (for some reason Yahoo News highlighted this):
