I'm a liberal, I think. I pro-choice. I believe in much tighter gun control. I think we should help the poor and the stupid. I think Exxon should be forced to pay their fucking debt to Alaska with 20 fucking years of interest. I think we should have some kind of nationalized health care for children and college students.
I think we should do more research into alternative fuels. I do believe we should reduce our dependence on foreign oil and conservation, mass transit, and alternative fuels are excellent long term options. I am a liberal.. but not an environmental wacko. I think we SHOULD be drilling in Alaska and off our coastlines. The alaskan pipeline is not the environmental disaster that the environmental wackos said it would be. I don't believe that oil rigs off the coast of north carolina are going to be harmful to the coastal environment. All them rigs out in the Gulf survived Katrina just fine. I might be worried if that volcano in Africa exploded and fell into the Atlantica all of the sudden, but if that happend, we'd have bigger problems (the tsumani could potentially flood the entire eastern seabord to 100 miles inland!) We need to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil sooner than later, and research is a LONG term solution. I also think we should be building MORE nuke plants. I live within 10 miles of the Harris facility just outside of Raleigh, NC. It has one reactor but the design is capable of sustaining 5 reactors. I'm okay with that. I think nuclear power is safe and we should use more of it not less. If electric cars and plug-in hybrids are coming our way, and i think they are, we need more electricity, and I'd rather it be nuclear than coal powered. We see ads around here for "Clean Coal" all the time... but Duke Power still wants to build dirty coal plans. I don't support that. I don't know that much about "clean coal" but I certainly don't like the sound of "dirty coal". Drill for oil whereever we can, and build more nuke plants. I guess I'm not all liberal.... ;) -- Rick Root New Brian Vander Ark Album, songs in the music player and cool behind the scenes video at www.myspace.com/brianvanderark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:263069 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
