Is it ok to vote for a law you think is immoral,
or vote against a law you think is moral?
---------------------------------
For that matter, is it ok to vote for a law that is moral?
Isn't it redundant?

since tomorrow you will be poorer.

Didn't we just "fix" the bankruptcy laws?

Is solar energy clean?


Not quite.
If absorbing the suns rays is what warms the earth, and it is,
then absorbing more rays will heat the earth more. :-)
Maybe we should cover the Sahara with aluminum foil
just to be sure.

$700 billion per year

[>]
seems to be the number to cite as what we pay terrorists for oil.
We use 20+ million barrels per day.
Yes, 20 mbbl/day * 350 days * $100/bbl = $700 billion.
But 11 mbbl/day comes from North America
(CAN=2, US=8, MEX=1)
In 2007, oil imports cost $342 billion.

[>]
About 5 quads of natural gas are used for electricity.
This is 20% of the 25 quadrillion BTUs of oil imported, not 38%.

Hang Victory


Let's focus on honor.
