http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/14/business...ent/14fuel.html I cannot believe Exxon is selling out to the Greenpeace movement! This is a downright slap in the face. Chevron is my fuel of choice!

Sorry for the long post earlier. It was like 2am or something. I was trying to use the quote to rebut some arguements. I will learn to navigate quotes and how to respond better. I do have a low IQ.....very low indeed. Good thing I don't need a high one to discuss these items with you! whoever said that.... As for incomplete sentences, yes! I do flow on a stream of consciousness and I don't take my ADHD medicine after 3 pm. As for shopping around for health insurance. I can get lower premiums yes! But the fact is that the policy I have in place makes the most sense for my current situation. I have seen first hand how inefficient our healthcare system is for sole propriotors. We cannot exclude pre-existing conditions. When you have a family member with a problem then you must pay for the treatment. I get that! However my premiums are higher because of it yet it is not included in coverage. That is all I am really saying. I will be burdened the rest of my life due to my kido being diagnosed with a certatin possible problem his whole life. To me it is hypocrysy that I pay more for something the health insurance companies won't pay for anyway! So where do I turn....no where! As far as greener technologies. (sentence fragment) I want to be able to invest in the future not because of global warming which is a hoax, by the way, see LA's skyline. But mainly for cost cutting measures. Electric cars have been invented! However not put on the road. WHY? Hybrid's are more fuel efficient....is that so bad. yes we should drill here...I agree. I do very much like the Nuclear options. I don't want to cut out anything but give incentives for innovative companies seeking better ways to do things. Of course we cannot put a wind farm just anywhere. But I would rather my tax dollars go to companies --viable companies--to help produce some cost saving that would make our country less dependent on foreign sources. As far as deficit spending. yes we must increase receipts to the federal reserve. Cutting taxes in order to spur consumer spending. yes I understand! Let's do it. It is a basic disagreement between Dems and Rep's. I think investing in better technologies and getting our workforce educated will spur this movement. I am sorry I cannot be more clear on the subject of what makes sence makes sense. If you will not agree that healthcare is currently broke then I cannot sell you on a better system. If you believe that occupying other nations is the best defense of democracy then I cannot change your mind on foreign policy. If you don't believe we could be headed for a climate crisis then I cannot convince you of green is better. As far as taxes on the middle class I am against it. But where does the money need to come from? Since I have read that taxes are bad on the rich. Taxes are bad on the middle class. Where did we expect to pay for the largest deficit in history left us by the previous administration? I will reiterate we had 8-10 years to grow the economy and it did not work. Good news. There is a banging economy the last 8 yrs in India. Also consortions from Dubai and Quatar are buying up real estate in New York and across the country as their economies have flourished.....yes they are down now! But at least they own some skyscrapers for when the ecomony rebounds. Finally what makes a constitutional amendment....I don't know. I believe I was using sarcasm as you do need a minimun IQ to get.

I am so sorry , I forgot that the Congress was all democrat now! Of course there is a deficit....Now what was the surplus # on Jan 1. What is google? Anyway I an referring to REP congress 96--06. President was a guy named BUSH...he was a republican with a super dooper right wing conservative VP named Shotgun Cheney. Look, whatever you want to say, the fact remains the OIL administration posted the largest profits in History..... Laywers suck I agree. Frivoulous lawsuits......only can come from an uneducated society......Why do juries continue to award these crazy verdicts? Where is the tort reform? As far as healthcare...I don't know the answer. I do know that I pay close to $10,000 a year for my family and that is not to even see a doctor. The current system is broke! Why not make it easier to let nurses diagnose problems and prescribe medicine. Why not let drug companies dispense drugs. Why must everything go through one doctor. If I have the flu. Then I need to get the good medicine. I mean really....why all the regulations on healthcare now! Let the poor take their chances with a person with a Masters from TWU. I think both sides are missing the point. But for sure Private Healthcare providers has been posting profits in the billions for decades! And when corporations are not burdened with paying their employees healthcare then look out............. As far as next generation that is FOX news talking. We will have a surplus when everything is firing correctly! Especially when we strip down the military, tax pot, and put more $ in consumers hands when the developing technology of greener ways....energy, not as much fuel meaning less dependent on foreign supply, kick in. It is an investment! We are investing for our future generations. I have never seen America so divided! I ask all of you to stop watching Fox news and stop listening to talk radio for one month! Then tell me you don't feel better.

Hello, you F wads think Barrack wants to raise taxes on you people....guess what it is the deficits left to us by your administration. So just shut up and take it. You really think after the massive military buildup....cutting taxes on wealthy corporations, bailing out Wall Street right before leaving office, no absolutely no oversight by Delay and Gingrich on the housing market. That we would be in this mess. Your administration caused it so you could say yea we are invading a country......... So deal with it!!!!! You people need to understand, the system was broken and now we are trying to rebuild parts of the engine...so just try to keep up that positive attitude you had for the last 8 years while you looked at your Brokerage statement and thought why is this not moving? Or why your insurance premiums are going skyrocketing up........ WHY WOULD WE NEED TO RAISE TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS RIGHT NOW? To pay old debts my friend! I hope you enjoy singing God Bless America at the ballpark because after 9/11 there was no more take me out to the ballgame.....which is a much happier song in my opinion! I do also love the national anthem.....but one is enough don't you think.

I for one think that if Obama cannot produce evidence he is a citizen then maybe we could vote an amendment to the constitution to allow non citizens to be president. He is doing a very good job and would hate to see him out of a job. That would just add to more welfare we would have to pay!

Laurrie is Greatness....

Limbaugh is just so awesome! In a way the greatest of all time! Hannity has a flair and the way he man-handled Combs. He is the most Fair and Balanced! He does not just just hit the Dems with the facts...he actually makes me think there are some people who will never get it! He is a Visionary... Beck....his passion is unsurpassed. He had a guest say that an attack on US soil is what we needed to wake people up and I agree. Another terrorist attack on our soil would teach all the Lib's a lesson. And Beck did not disagree.....I am so proud of his patriotism. And when Bush rolled out the first Bailouts.....most conservatives would have been up in arms and organized a tea party....well not these 3. True soldiers, I mean Generals of the Conservative Movement to get us back to the Values that made this country great........... WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE?

Republican congress 96' to 06...both houses. Republican President 00-08... Blaming Clinton for anything makes you sound ignorant and much like the clamoring of a Hannity or Limbaugh! We all know who is to blame for our 401k's not moving an inch in the last 8 yrs. OIL....and its leaders! that is it. They cared for nothing but the profits of their base and that is why they are all sitting on their ass at home on a pile of money. Just kidding! keep posting away....everything I post is nuts too....

Halliburton Services doing what trained Military could do......$120000 vs $38,000. Defense spending.....No competition! Oh wait there are 2 companies that can produce F-60's for around 350 million. If we cut 2 of those everyone in America could get a Ham....or at least a doctors visit...or wait maybe we could provide scholarships for more doctors, I don't know! What could we do with 700 million. Too bad we already ordered 40 more! Hams or jets I forgot which one. Does not matter! Both are prime examples of Gov interference with our lives. All I need is a gun, a pig , and some penicillin......and that would save taxpayers......350,038,001.79.......how is that math?

By the way Howard Rourke from Atlas Shrugged was utterly fed up with society rules and corporate stifling of talent. He wanted to be the best he could be....I wonder how many hidden talented and gifted souls there are in inner city schools? But no worry we's all equal now!!!! No reparations needed! Those Land owners worked hard at keeping that Cotton coming in...why should they be taxed for being so innovative!

OK..... Nice topic....Let me put this into .... mmmm football terms. Who works harder than Riley Dodge at being a QB? Well it must be Colt Mccoy...right? He is better and more marketable. Right? NO NO NO that won't work since Colt has more "God Given Talent" (as far as we know) So Colt is better so why did he choose UT over UNT or even Baylor.... Simple : better facilities, access to media, education(?), girls, connections, you name it UT has it. So with this model UT is a far better option than UNT. right? OK follow along children....If UT gained this momentum by purely working hard to achieve the best program and earned their status by the truly "Conservative" approach of Winner gets to take all then I would see the fellow's point of you cannot punish the successful by just being successful. But what if , the legislature gave....not earned but gave the $'s to fund such programs to push the team to new heights. Then what does that say about the equality of a student-athlete. They are punished just by wanting to go to a different school than the elite of that state. How can working harder overcome a 15 billion endowment? How ? Why not give every student athlete the same money in Texas. Why not give equal access to all? Do you see what we are getting at here! Why some get more, some get less, it is all our tax dollars at work and I want my children and every parent's children to get as good access to my $ as the next. USA has a unique opportunity to show the world what "True Capitalism" fails miserably to accomplish. That is taking care of it's weaker members of the society! Not all are blessed to be white, upper middle class, access to education. They do not choose their parents! Who as we know is a big determinate of the character of a person! We rely on just plain old hard work and you will succeed in this country. If that were the case then you would not take so much stock in the fact that people who make above 5 million are put into a tax bracket of 38%. Because if you made that much you would want to help take care of the mentally ill, the blind, the elderly, the children of no show dead beat parents who had a child very young. or got caught up in a bad situation. You would want to help them. Why because if the playing field was even to begin with then you would know that those people are one's who need help. No I am not talking about people who beat the system down! Even us libs are sick and tired of paying for them, but when corporate America stops lobbying for the rules to be in their favor and start being fiscally responsible then I will listen to your arguement! I cannot believe you people would even consider that a teacher be taxed the same as Paris Hilton.......You should be ashamed. Final arguement: Say you invent a car that does not use as much fossil fuel. And you don't have a Oil legislature 96-06 Rep owned the House and senate and the white house for much of that... You earn 50,000,000 for your patent. Do you really care if you pay %25 or 38% ? Because the people who are buying your patented widget are the same people who you are helping succeed in society. Yes I am for a consumption tax...and less gov. By the way the Gov grew by 3x as large under GW Bush. Mostly military. think about that. but you can't say 9-11...only rule.

if you make $280,000 then I don't think you are having many problems!!!! Yes tax them at a higher rate! I guess we agree to disagree.

Yes make it legal and yes tax it like cigs.... It is harmless and when is the last time you saw on the news an accident involving mary jane? Yes it does happen and yes it should not be abused but let's face it. There are a million problems with Alcohol. If you want to ban a substance ban that....it is much worse for you. Oh yes mary can be produced in a non smoking form....

If you idiots think you are getting any seats in 2010...good luck! Your party is so outdated and the propaganda machine is at it again! With your posts and this line of thinking that is why you people sound just like back ass ward ... Anyway! 2010 picking up seats with your super conservative approach! Well good luck! 3 things your party needs to do or abandon immediately. Embrace the possibility of peace! War is a last option! Did you know one smart bomb could save about $80,000 in taxes! That would get back one families tax burden that Bush left us with! Choice is what the nation is founded on. Tax relief for small business.....Yes your tax breaks for small business is good! Quit giving all the breaks to special interest and wall street! Oh yes that is what the republican party stands for...and guess what lack of oversight has got us into a bloody mess.....blame yourselves you did it. As for calling your President Millhouse...Well at should I call our last president a war criminal, a thief of American tax dollars, a lack of oversight president with unprecideted theft of the regular American in the form of fuel, Stocks, Healthcare, and lives! When you guys get a clue and amend your belief system is only when you will get the swing voter. Right now you look like you don't have a clue. And good one on Sottomeyer. Alienate the Hispanic vote....great move! Sorry I cannot help but remind you that you got your ass kicked in the last election and until Obama/ Millhouse whatever screws up then you have him for 8 years and if you don't change your tune we might enact socialized medicine, tax the rich, and dismantle the military!!! Oh yea and legalize pot!!!! Have fun being mad.....suck it!

Wow,,,, Maybe don't worry so much, just relax and enjoy life a little bit. It really pains me to see people in such a state of panic. Not everyone in the world is a terrorist! Empathize with people that God created. I know the vision of World Peace is such a crazy thing to think could come true but really do your research before you start the wheel of hate that is spreading around this country. Gimmie a hug.

Truth....always comes out. I really don't know about Global Warming. Honestly I am not a scientist. I just don't know. However, lets put the data out there and analyze it and determine the correct course of action. It seems to me that those who favor or have interest's in the "Green Technologies" have a vested interest and believe in it. Those who have an interest in Fossil fuel energy don't believe in it. Thus, democrat's favor global warming...requires investment (taxes) And republicans (corporations) favor global warming is a hoax (threat to their business) I actually favor the use of both to supply the energy we need. While we keep an eye on the planet's well being we do need to keep pushing forward with our current state. So to answer lies don't help either side. And both sides are adept at spinning the truth. I just happen to believe that "greener technologies" would overall help in the long run sustain the needs of our everyday use while fueling our economy. PUN intended!

Hey it worked for Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Cheney..... God Bless America even us clueless one's.

Nuclear energy is fantastic. We need to incorporate and harness all types.

Don't worry once we change to a consumer based and tech driven nation vs a war building gov spending one we will see the "change" Thanks be to the nation that can evolve from preparing for war to preparing for peace!!!! coexist will happen despite the best efforts of the tyrannical war lords....God is coming into being and taking over where man has failed.... Just kidding on that last part.....

Who knew ... Global Warming is a hoax after all! It really sucks that we created Hybrids and more efficient energy as an off-shoot of this great lie! I will hate to see all the shieks out of work when we don't rely on them for most of our fossil fuels. To think we could be committing our tax dollars to keep out of date GM afloat when new technologies are kicking the crap out of good ol American know how.... I don't even want to think about the day we have no electric bill. That would put so many out of work. And Recylcing , don't get me started! It is so weird people separate their trash and put it back into the system...that puts so many people out of jobs. Let's see....organic gardening! I cannot believe people would put a garden in a suburb...that defeat's the purpose of a grocery store.... Pretty soon they will develop technologies to where you could insulate your house better thus not using so much energy! We all know we have excess energy to spare. Well except CA....thanks Enron....(Cheney's personal jet service) Harnessing the wind????? Solar power..... and this light bulb thing...is Obama on crack or what..... UNT is the laughing stock of College Football with this Leed's certified stadium...... And guess what I hope it is a Hoax. that would be a good thing if we did not enter 140 degree temps.,.,. AS for Polar Bears they are cute....

I currently pay $1017 per month for a healthy family of 4 (dental included). I know for a fact that he will help me get that # down. We should concentrate on tort reform as well. Also allowing Generic Drug's to the marketplace. We should put more education in place that allows for more Doctors and those other kind of Practitioners that can prescribe. What I don't want is socialized medicine. We already have that for Vets and Gov employees. When you add in illegals and poverty types then they system gets bogged down. My $12000 per year is paying for all of them....you....and then some. I don't know what the fix is but it damn sure is not working. And yes I am covered for a catastrophic event. Most of the plans offered cut you off at some point. Most of the criticism of the current Health care coverage is that you can die and leave your family in utter ruins financially. Well then we all pay anyway from the bankruptcy courts and the property taxes. IF YOU ARE A JUROR, REMEMBER THAT IF THEY HAD WHAT THEY HAD 100 YEARS AGO WE WOULD BE BIDDING THEM FAREWELL!!!! 250,000 CAP ON ALL LAWSUITS. Again our education system fails to put 12 reasonable people in a juror box that don't want to stick it to the man!!!! Wait what is broke again.....

1. Hey if you want to pay for gas and drive your Chevy Suburban that I had to bail you out of since well anyway...Drive what you want. Why again do you not like eco-friendly cars? I don't quite understand that statement. Yes I love the smell of Skunk in the morning.... 2. Agree Drill here Drill now.....I am a Republican again for the moment.... 3. Your right..Apologies for the Ad-Hominum attack..it was not right! But lets look at your argument. Yes I want to feel good. Yes I want to save the planet....It is a fact we have Acid Rain....would you agree to that? It is a fact that there is pollution in the air...Would you agree to that ...ie LA, Houston, Memphis, Biloxi , Fresno, OK city, E chicago, New Jersey...all I want is a study of non-biased scientists that have data. If there is no problem then carbon base away....But let's look at it for Zeus sake's...No I don't want to punish Paris Hilton for her hard work and tax her more .... Come on man! I don't give a damn about whales....F the whales! I want to be clear here....I don't care about whales or overfishing that causes our reefs to die. There is no correlation that the food chain is in trouble. Wait...there is....Well let's at least cut down the forest's....I once knew a brazillian that grew a tree!!!! As far as printing $....Well if Halliburton and Exxon would redistibute some of it then we would not have to print it would we? Oh and the middle east has alot of it too....Remember when George was president making sure there was not another 9/11 well guess what ..... there indeed was with the raping of the Middle Class American's savings, 401K, Pension's, not to mention a pile of debt to the average small business. Thanks George you great WAR Leader you. By the way I hate taxes...I dont want anymore taxes....I am against taxes.......Obama has not raised any taxes on the middle class whatso ever and as a matter of fact has cut taxes and why you don't see that and still get tea bagged by sean hannity I don't see why or how you continue to make that argument. 4. Agree, drill here drill now, give tax credits to companies that create vehicles that use less gas.....Ok we agree here. 5. The country you described here sounds terrible! I prefer Bollywood!!! Remeber, if you think war will always happen and man is destined to Kill each other then we will all eventually kill ourselves anyway and go the way of the dinosaur. We can choose to evolve! The Jesuits, said that God intended us to use our brains with the tenets of the Bible to help shape earth into what it once was...."heavan" That is the test we are taking now! Good luck and God Bless......Masomalakeum , Namastay,

I think Global Warming may be real. But I don't know! There are some good arguments on both sides. I guess I will root for No Global Warming! All I know is global warming or not ... Baytown stinks.... and if Greener technologies cleans up those cities then I am for it.... Here is a good argument for electric cars and new technologies that are not fuel based. We quit sending our f**** money to the middle east!!!!!!!!! You Republicans are such morons to not see the Big Picture here....;If we don't need Oil then we don't need the Middle East......right! I mean minus the cool people that are there such as most all of the middle east minus the terrorist's..... or do we hate them all? I forget sometime.

UNT would be in the CWS a few times each decade if we just had a team.... If we put resources into it then who knows. I think RV knows where our resources are at and you can only hammer your head so many times per year, I would put your sights on 2012-2015....If then no baseball team then let's call for Ricks head. Would it not be nice if the City of Denton put in a baseball stadium somewhere near downtown. Now that would be worth a day trip with my son in April. UNT vs. Texas State downtown denton Double header. Well who know's maybe one day.... You want a hotel in Denton. Try a Convention Center hotel baseball stadium....maybe a live music venue...... Rick what are you doing???? So sorry it's 4:20 am and I can't sleep...... Congrats to the College Of Law UNT-D
