The title is President Obama's response to a reporter's question about the progress on avoiding the fiscal cliff. Yes, folks, this is the change you voted for. For frack's sake, you're in charge of the largest economy in the world, 240 million voter's future well being depends on this fiscal cliff issue being resolved, but you're taking time off to go shopping?!? People like Barack Obama are the reason why our economy is in the crapper, because people like Barack Obama are in charge of the large corporations. The Hostess executives give themselves 3-5 million dollars in raises, then slash employee benefits by 2 million- never mind that the company has been floundering for 3 years, and no one deserved a raise in the first place, especially the leadership. When the worker's strike, those executives claim the worker's union has caused them to declare bankruptcy. The 2008 collapse began, and all of our local political leaders have since consistently voted themselves raises- and raised taxes on working class people to fund this!
That is the type of leadership we see, not just in Barack Obama, Royce Pollard, or whichever crook you have in your neck of the woods, but everywhere in today's America. people don't seem to care too much what the truth is, so long as someone who is charismatic and loud presents some skewed "facts." What I find even more sad is that most Americans do not know the difference between what is "fact" and what is "truth," an because of this they are willingly led to bad conclusions based on false premises.
Facts change- truth does not. For instance, it was once fact that the Earth was flat, the sun rotated around the Earth, and that the color of one's skin determined whether or not they held any worth as a human being. None of these things are true, and never have been. Truth is an absolute- it is not conditional. Facts are not absolute- they are conditional upon empirical support, subject to change as evidence emerges that disputes the claims said facts make. Evolution Theory is fact, on which undoubtedly contains the smallest amount of truth. I guarantee you in 200 years time, our current understanding of the aforementioned Theory will be laughed at as being primitive, just as we laugh at the attitudes of our ancestor's about the existence of germs, or of the concept of spontaneous generation.
So, the point of this post, other than to open your eyes to the difference between truth and fact, is that we need to start preparing for the worst possible outcome. We have a lazy, irresponsible, and corrupt government whose main priority is to serve the whims of 1000 billionaires, not 240 million working class Americans. They utilize fear mongering and polarizing propaganda to keep the populace subdued and/ or divided. They are brazenly anti- morality, as social morality is the only factor that could ever threaten unmitigated greed. They accomplish this by utilizing fuzzy logic (Moral Relativism) whose premise "There are no Absolutes" invalidates itself by being that which it claims is non-existent. Wake up, quit being a sheep, as one day the powers that be will no longer be satisfied merely fleecing you- they're gonna start craving mutton and lamb chops.

Green Power
Look, I have been reading the push back on green tech for some time, and I'll tell ya, you pro- oil/ anti- green folks sound pretty obtuse. Oil is a very finite resource. You bitch and complain about 4 bucks a gallon, but when someone says they'll fund developing technology that almost guarantees a return to cheap gas prices, you scream communism.
I don't like Obama, I think everyone who reads this knows it. That being said, his energy policies are the start of what is necessary for us- we absolutely, positively need to migrate from industrial age/ archaic energy resources (such as oil and coal) to fully embrace nuclear, hydro electric, solar, and wind turbine energy production. We have the technology now to render much of the nuclear waste harmless, and if given proper attention, I am sure we could find a way to render it completely inert- if not find a way to recycle it.
If you want to get down to brass tacks, if you want to complain about gas prices, but don't want to do anything about making gasoline cheaper, then feel free to shut your hole. That's like a fat person wailing about their weight while swimming in milkshakes- it is asinine to the point of lunacy, with a generous serving of self delusion thrown in.
There was a recent Stanford study claiming people are getting less intelligent. Sometimes I wonder if this is not news. People against solar/ wind have the least sense in their arguments- it's not always sunny, or it's not always windy. Okay, couple of things- one: battery storage for these types of power generators is pretty common, because sometimes they produce more electricity than the grid needs. Two: We have a HUGE desert between the Pacific and the Rockies. You may not know this, but a good portion of that area is uninhabited. The areas that are could certainly use the industry. Oh, it is almost always sunny, and very windy, in these areas. Last point: Each and every one of us has the ability to not only be energy self sufficient in our homes- read: no need for electric companies- due to Solar, Wind, and Human Powered generators. If you knew how easy electricity is to generate, you already knew this.
Stop being ignorant, and get yourself to be more pliant to changing your energy ways. It isn't because if you don't, the world will end in a global warming disaster, or because if you don't the world will be enslaved by big oil companies. It's because if you don't, the US will cease to be the hyper power it is, and will end up as yet another Roman Empire legacy power- like Great Britain, France, Spain, and the rest- to rise to super power and fall into subservience due to it's inflexibility.
In short, being anti green energy is being anti American. Green energy is the first vital step in not only being completely self sufficient, but also in breaking the stranglehold Corporate America has on our political structure. If you can't see this, you're either naive or ignorant. Just saying.
