We have plenty of our own oil right here in the US. Our involvement in the middle east over oil is all unnecessary BS.

Better to incite the populace down there to fix their own issues. Any US military involvement should be very limited and only on a deniable clandestine special ops level. Remember, we tried to fix Iraq.

The conservaive in me says that an individual's healthcare is not within the role of government .
That aside, the government of the United States is too incompetent for such a huge endeavour. They would make a bureaucratic whorehouse out of it that would piss away taxpayer money by the boxcar full in "administrative costs" alone. The people actually served by it (or call them victims of it
) would only be a consequential byproduct of all the bureaucratic skullduggery, interdepartmental tribal conflicts, and policy inconsistencies. After all the the big pharma companies would still get fat off of the system. The best time for the US to have gone to a real no s**t national healthcare system would have been from the 1930's to the 1960's or so. It would still be overly bureaucratic like anything government but it would have been established and at least most of the major bugs worked out before health care would have become the excessively greedy industry it has.

Science already is strongly encouraged. It's just that the left won't stop bashing religion (or we could just be honest and replace the word religion with Christianity since the left turns a blind eye to all but Christianity) until every place of Christian worship is leveled, every cross destroyed, and every bible burned.

I know I could be advocating government intervention (meddling) but the problem is greed driven price which we might want to consider mandatory price capping (the conservative in me is cringing) of tuition and book costs. The same could be done for healthcare.

We already do have the right. It' just happens to be a right that comes under attack via interpretation of the constitution by those who claim to be on the side of civil rights.
In a way they have within the past 10 years with the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, and probably a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. They won't go back to building exact duplicates of the originals because the safety and emissions requirements have changed.

Love that word! Yes, you are naive!
I am reduced to a tablet again (hence my many grammatical mistakes. Blame my big fat fingers!
) so I cannot at this moment post links. Trust me, I'll be back with them!
Suffice it to say, that the US has already reached "peak oil" (a technical term) and we are running out of oil. That is an indisputable fact.
So you think that it is sad that we should reduce pollution and conserve.
I realize that even when EVERY scientific organization in the world agrees (such as the fact that AGW exists) you prefer your intuition. However, and luckily most people prefer science to your intuition.

Still chuckling about that word," conservaive"!
A clever combination of conservative and naive!
Thanks!
You convinced me that Freudian slips actually do exist.
Did you hear about the man that went to his psychiatrist and said," doc, I made the most horrible Freudian slip last night." The doc said,"tell me more."
Well, I was at my mother's house last night and I meant to say," please pass the salt." But instead I said, "you b***h you ruined my life"! !!

Considering that five states are in the middle of an oil boom right now and obviously everyone should be aware that for years and years now surveyors have not been allowed to examine quite a bit of land, including thousands and thousands of undeveloped miles, even in the deserts... Yeah I wouldn't hesitate at all to call bs there buddy. Awesome profile name by the way, I'm jealous because I loved reading wittgenstein's stuff.

Hey, I got Asperger's (an all purpose excuse ) so I cannot help but be anal. You are not jealous of me, you are envious. When I was single, I might have been envious of a guy with a gorgeous girl friend but I was not jealous. I did not think he was cheating on me!
