Go, Hans, Go! Lots of great lines, but this is my favorite: "WAKE UP!
Not only do we need to impeach Bush & Co., we-the-people need to
start BEHAVING like we oppose wars for oil."
Wooo-Hoooo!

Hi Folks:
Please contact the Cap Times regarding an obnoxious article they just
ran - "Fast Track to the Fast Lane". The story is about a ten year
old who is learning to amuse himself by driving in circles at top
speed in fuel-guzzling half-scale NASCAR racers. In truth his
behavior is no more reprehensible or oblivious to the predicament of
Earth than that of millions of nominal adults who play with fossil-
fueled toys, but it is especially galling to see it glorified in
a "progressive" newspaper.
WE CANNOT BE AGAINST WARS FOR OIL WHILE ACCEPTING SUCH NONESENSE. We
cannot fight Bush and corporate ownership of government with one hand
behind our back - a hand that is shovelling billions of dollars to
Cheney's chums as it frantically pumps gasoline into the thousand-and-
one gadgets that comprise our addiction.
My letter to the editor follows - I hope it inspires you to act!
Dear Editor:
"Fast Track to the Fast Lane"? Fast Track Towards Addiction to Oil
and Motor Vehicles would have been a more appropriate name for this
article. And "...need for speed"? Give me a break! What planet
Earth, the future of humanity, and US Armed Forces "need" is for YOU
and ME to learn how to amuse ourselves without gasoline. God help
our heirs if we-the-people can't manage to find recreation that
doesn't WreckCreation!
Yesterday evening at the Memorial Union, John Nichols gave a splendid
speech on impeaching the Bush administration and withdrawing from
Iraq. Meanwhile everybody with a functioning brain now realizes that
this "occupation" is all about controlling access to Mideast and
Central Asian oil supplies. But when it comes to stopping profligate
consumption RIGHT HERE, the Cap Times puts on blinders. Can't you
folks connect the dots?
WAKE UP! Not only do we need to impeach Bush & Co., we-the-people
need to start BEHAVING like we oppose wars for oil. That means
cobwebs on gasoline pump handles, folks - no waiting, no excuses.
It's time for little Morgan - and millions of nominal adults - to
find nice ways to play.
