Energy Crisis, Who's to Blame?

The cost of fuel is going up, the cost of food is going up, the availability of corn is shrinking, and who is to blame? Don't blame Big Oil, you can blame Al Gore and the Enviro-weenies, that's who!!

The drive from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia isn't long, but it's certainly becoming expensive. On a recent weekend it cost me $65 to fill up the tank on Interstate 95. If gas continues its march toward $4 per gallon, there's no telling how much the trip could cost.

It was a worthwhile investment, though. My granddaughters were thrilled to visit the zoo, where they spent time studying polar bears.

The bears are thriving. They can live for 40 years in the zoo. Wild polar bears, meanwhile, live around 30 years, and are also doing well. There are an estimated 20,000-25,000 wild polar bears today, up from an estimated 8,000-10,000 in the late 1960s.

Yet many environmentalists are pressuring the Department of the Interior to list the bear as an endangered species. As the price of gas shows us, though, the real endangered species these days is the American motorist. And, if environmentalists succeed, that problem will only worsen.

The high costs wew are experiencing have nothing to do with Global Warming and saving non endangered species and has everything to do with the Luddites, Chicken Littles, Enviro-wankers and the socialist control freaks that want the public under their power.

I am tired of paying high prices because some HollyWeird liberal has a hard-on for polar bears. I am tired of paying high prices because some junk scientists thinks we should use ethanol which is causing the price of foods to sky rocket. And I am tired of paying high prices because some Commie wants to control our economy with their Marxist lunacy!

Don't blame Big Oil, don't blame the Saudis, don't blame our Gov't, blame those that say they are trying to protect worthless critters and the atmosphere.
