The gall of the Putin Russian offensive to occurr during the Olympics speaks volumes about democratic foundations in the world. They do not care one iota and yet their oil dollars remind us of the need to come up with alternate energy and more working at home efforts to break the stranglehold. Conservation and credits to homeowners and business rising to the alternatives should be the direction of the dollars we credited to the profit hungry oil companies that continue to gouge all of us all the way to the bank.
Do we follow the McCain efforts to kick them out of the economic powers of the G-8 membership or do we move our allies to isolate them in their bad manners and destructive policies? We need to make some significant changes away from the Bush repos of rewarding their buddies and political contributors and to rebuilding our infrastructure creatively. Perhaps a WPA program may help the unemployed and rebuild our infrastructure sadly deteriorating to a potential catastrophe.
Let's move forward and not backwards like the chicken little fables!
