If people got what they wanted they'd all be driving 2 story tall SUVs with 1000 HP engines and hot tubs on the back?

We did get SUVs (profits) and oil wars (profits) because certain parties like to pander to the lowest common denominator...big engines and sitting tall...and let's go get that oil from those evil people?

So you have to have mileage standards in a real world of people with little real sense? You need to regulate Wall Street? You have to protect the commons and use SOME common sense?

The corporate right likes to push the FREEDOM word...but what they are really talking about is THEIR freedom to exploit for profit. And they know if they use the right words and push the right buttons (so to speak) they can get their base to support it.

Wars.

It's all about big profits and jobs thrown at some....meanwhile the environment is trashed...and ALL of us pay big down the line.
