Green Energy

Todays thought provoking articles. This one is of BO's idiotic handling of our country's energy supply. As I see the price of fuel head higher and higher, all I can think about is what is will cost our fishermen for fuel. If only they could hoist a sail and get from point A to point B with that form of "green energy", but they can't and God help us if we don't get new leadership come fall.The fact that he voted against the Keystone pipeline certainly sends the wrong  message.

Probably a large contributor to the rise in price are the  speculators.

Here is an interesting time line on fracking / hydraulic fracturing.

Then there's this article on  the social dislocation caused by feminism and the sexual revolution. 

From the article....

"Here is a prediction: Even if Rick Santorum is not the next president, and even if Barack Obama crushes him in the general election (the latter, though not the former, is a big if), social conservatism will continue to grow in size and importance over the next couple of decades. That is to say, if Santorum loses, it will be in part because he is ahead of his time.

The social dislocation caused by feminism and the sexual revolution demands a political response, and so far the left has nothing to offer apart from bankrupting the country with more entitlements. It's encouraging to see a youngish left-wing feminist like Rosin have an inkling that there's a problem, but until the left starts thinking creatively about solutions, which will require a reconsideration of orthodoxies that date back to the 1960s and '70s, the social right will be the only game in town."
