Some sort of rationing is not a bad idea. It is at least worthy of
serious discussion by the next administration in open forums.


Are there any limits on what will be rationed?


Be careful rationing is a slippery slope to total control of the
population.


Bingo!


Doing a little sucking up, Jimmie? You probably ought to stick to Krause.
Most everyone else can see through you. Krause can too, but it's expedient
for him not to.


Agreeing with someone and not getting nasty is sucking up in your
mind?

Interesting.

Affordable electric boats will be a reality soon for simple inshore
boating use. Gas will be available, but taxed to keep it expensive.
Gas taxes will mostly subsidize electric.
Electric taxes will begin to subsidize road infrastructure,
Road tollway taxes will subsidize the tourist industry.
Tourist taxes will subsidize....
Uh oh.

"Everything should be discussed openly", so why is Obama trying to
legally silence those who ask about his relationship with Bill Ayers,
how open is that? Can we trust a party that says they want open
discussion and then uses the legal system to silence their
questioners?
