Michael Moore has made potent movies about his view of the inequities and inadequacies in our country. Perhaps he might make a movie that may not earn him millions but might do some great good. Every time juveniles perpetrate heinous crimes our country goes through another spate of agonized soul searching. Worse, these crimes often seem to spawn "copycats" that are motivated by the notoriety and celebrity of the perpetrators. Given the tendency for the youth in our country to get much of their moral guidance from the media I've often wondered how powerful a movie of the lives of the youthful criminals after they're caught might be.

John Allen Muhammad is the "mastermind" behind the spate of random killings that occurred in October 2002 that left 10 dead in Maryland, Virginia and DC. Everyday americans were targeted and killed simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Devastated families and loved ones were left behind by this madman. Does this person really deserve anything other than reciprocal treatment? He's already lived two years longer than his victims.

There has been a great deal of debate about health care reform. However, there seems to be an assumption that regardless of the details which will eventually emerge "reform" will cost many billions of dollars. I believe it is reasonable and appropriate to challenge that assumption.

As our president and Congress continue to work their various priorities our nations energy policy once again languishes. Worse yet, many of the stated policies which already exist ignore the reality of a national economy firmly wedded to fossil fuels for the foreseeable future.

Today we have an economy that struggles to produce high paying jobs while we send billions of dollars every month overseas, often to countries that are not friendly to America. Meanwhile substantial opportunities for domestic development go unrealized due to environmental claims which are often little more than luddite objections to everything technological.

Fortunately a path exists to sustainable energy independence, reduced CO2 emissions, reduced environmental impacts, AND robust economic growth. This diary will propose such a path for consideration.
