It seems that my rants on the REAL issues in this election perhaps went too far, and struck a nerve with the site owner/admin, since the offending threads have been removed from public view. I do apologize if i've personally offended any fellow cannondaleriders. I value you all as my friends and brothers in arms. For this reason i'm going to post what i believe is the REAL reason we are in Iraq and why we should not support Bush on Tuesday.
This election should NOT be about terror, or gay marriage, or gun control, or the environment, or F***ing Vietman, or missing explosives or lesbian cheny, Ketchup Kerry or even riding on public lands. It's about our government, this administrations total and complete lack of honesty with the American people. It's about Freedom and the ideals of American Democracy.
The greatest threat to the american way of life and our continued viability as the moral leader of the world is commonly referred to as Peak Oil.
Essentially, The worldwide demand for oil has, or very soon will, outstrip the maximum supply. No we aren't about to run out, but we are nearly or more than halfway there. We will never again see $1/gallon gas, $2 will be in the rear mirror soon, and if the oil shock of the 70's is any indication $100+ is very possible if we don't wake up and begin to honestly address this reality. There is some arguements about when, but there is no IF.
I encourage you to spend some time comtemplating what Peak Oil means to our Economy and your family.
Here's a good place to start:
CENSORED
Though i was aware of this threat, it hadn't really got into my mind til i began searching for a rational explanation for the 10,000's of dead and injured in Iraq. I almost wish i hadn't let it in. Ignorance is Bliss. Maybe some of you critical thinkers can help me find my way back there.
Now, as this real threat affects our election; The Bush administration could have taken the shock and unity following 9/11 to explain this global dilemma to America, and to chart a course, with a lot of 'hard work', to a sustainable planet. Instead, they simply lied, and sent our patriots to war under the sham of WMD and Terror.
This link has a lengthy, factual article on what they knew, or certainly should have known.
As you read it, if you choose to, realize that BIG OIL just reported a 3rd quarter profit of over 16 billion dollars, nearly double the same period in 2003. President Harry Truman had a word for war profiteers: Traitors.
Why?
I think this Hurricane we just went through and the disaster area i'm living in opened my mind. (or maybe just warped it) Open your's, and decide for yourself.
