1. So many deliberate impediments stand in the way

I hope you're right about this. It's way past time to slip the grip of big oil!

[Marblehead]

2. Graig Palast

said that the oil companies control the government. We will have clean energy when they are ready to let us, which is no time soon..

[physioex]

3. Like he said.....

When the prices cross a certain threshold, alternative energy becomes more feasible. So it could be a good thing.

[Marblehead]

4. I hope so

but the last time oil was above $100 not much happened, I am not holding my breath

5. Not much has happened on any issue ... from homelessness to foreclosures ....

from moving to universal health care to stopping capitalism's corrupt and criminal

crime wave!!

It's up to us to make sure these things do begin to happen --

And, given the "wisdom" we've been acting on, we now face two more years of Obama

and possible further destruction of safety nets!

We need to draft Sen. Bernie Sanders -- the 2012 elections are upon us now --

Sanders can run on a Dem ticket --

Also we need to move someone who supports anti-war agenda -- someone like Tom Hayden

as VP --

Biden has been calling for more than a year now for Israel to attack Iran!!

Biden says, "Israel would be justified in attacking Iran" -- !!!

Is that what you wasnt -- more of this -- ?

7. +++++

Sanders, Ed Schultz, Rocky Anderson, there are a lot of names out there. We won't recognize them until we identify what we're looking for.

[defendandprotect]

11. We have to be surer next time of who we trust with our nation and our futures -- !!!

[Marblehead]

9. i hear you

[defendandprotect]

6. In other words, it's up to us to save ourselves and the planet -- !!

If we sit back and ignore the need for revolt here, suicidal capitalism/elites

will take us over the cliff with them!!

A war on nature doesn't work in the short or the long run --

Capitalism is a suicidal attack on Nature!!

10. Thanks --

I scanned it quickly --

however, I've been long calling for us to DRAFT Sen. Bernie Sanders who could

run on a Dem ticket --

and we also need a real anti-war VP -- how about Tom Hayden?


Not only has Obama completely misdirected his administration in betrayal of the voters --

but VP Biden has been calling for a year for Israel to attack Iran! Biden says ...

"Israel would be justified in attacking Iran" -- !!!

Many reasons why Biden should never have been selected -- Clarence Thomas being just one!!


:)


PS: Advantages of Sanders is that he is a populist who would bring out Dems who have long

been staying home -- and Dems who stayed home in 2010 -- PLUS he could move liberals in

third parties to vote for him.
