    •  I would, only... (3.92 / 13)

      I can't.  I made the mistake of replying to a "Democrats are using Katrina for political gain, how horrible" message with a suggestion that Republicans had been running on 9/11 for the last four years.

      Lost my posting priviledges quicker than you can say "it's all Clinton's fault."

      Feel free to copy paste if you want.

      •  Just snarking (4.00 / 11)

        it would be a waste of time.  Although they are the God people so they should get on the stick.

        I think we lost out chance at cheap energy when we stopped the ongoing efforts in the 80's.  To get cheap energy you need cheap investment to build the alternates which means you need cheap energy.  We had a couple of decades of cheap oil and we pissed it away, waiting for the magic of the market.

          I think we lost out chance at cheap energy when we stopped the ongoing efforts in the 80's.

          Our worst mistake of the last half-century, IMO.  Thank you very much, Mr. Reagan.

          •  Reagan Was the Worst Mistake (4.00 / 8)

            in the history of free societies. Worst==most damaging.

            •  Lost opportunities (none / 0)

              A perverse humanity, sub-species hominus americanus, probably would have found a way to blow this necessary transition anyway, but his era of reaction and neglect sealed the fate of -- ?? -- billions...

              If a thousand men were not to pay their tax bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State...

    •  That cartoon (none / 1)

      is my very favorite.  How wonderful that someone else uses it for an example!  (My attempts have been met with rather spotty reception.)
