Runs with Scissors commented on our posting of April 28 about Dubya kssing various parts of Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's anatomy and converting military bases to oil refineries with the following:
And your solution would be?
Conservation comes to mind. No one really wants to conserve energy, we have too many uses for it. Leadership, as Harry Truman once said, is the ability to get people to do something they don't want to do, and have them think it was their idea. That's what's needed now, not a bunch of feel-good ideas about how we can fix problems that involve finite resources without giving up anything.
Sometimes I think people have to have these things read to them so they can dictate a response.

I would add, in addition to conservation, alternate energy research and development.
Sometimes I wonder if the Government were to throw 100 billion dollars at alternate energy research, in stead of the next war, how much could we do.
