Americans Should Conserve Oil for China
Edited on Sun Apr-30-06 07:33 AM by WorldlyMrB
Americans should embrace tougher oil conservation methods so that China's economic boom, which is using 1,200% more oil than they did in 1980, can continue to produce cheap products for Americans to buy at Wal*mart

1. The majority of Americans don't want to conserve anything.........
just look around you, there's the proof. America's demand for rock bottom everyday low prices for goods produced by slave labor markets around the world will ultimately result in our own demise. Greed can never be sustained as someone will always show you, one way or the other, that you can't have everything just for yourself.

2. Americans want to conserve their own money
and will always look for getting a better bang for their dollar. Unlike a politician in washington who has the luxury of spending other peoples money.

3. Or we consume as much as possible as fast as possible
so that the hated foreigners get less of it, and then we all run out and kill each other off fighting over the last few barrels. That would appear to be the current plan.

4. Current plan is to buy Hindenburg cars
Of course a little fender bender may take out a city block, at least I'll feel better about myself knowing that I'm saving the mating habits of caribue and getting back at big oil.

9. Is that why you are a conservative?
Conservatives are soo much into conserving... Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha I know lets break all our laws so China will think we are powerful.. Ha Ha Ha Ha ha Ha ha Laws only apply to Democrats... The Chinese are ???? and if we put enough Democrats in jail they will be scared of us. Republicans say they would much rather be feared than loved. It turns out they are neither. Ha Ha Ha ha
