i do not believe they have the ability to answer questions such as that. . .despite what pet pyschics might say. . .i wonder if we could send john edward up there and he could communicate with the moose dead father and find out from him though.
course, god put man above the beasts on the land, sea and air. . .again, i do not think that the small area of land involved in this project is gonna cause the displacement of that many moose.

Because economic conservatives are more afraid of democrats and their class-warfare, wealth-confiscation, scare-mongering than they are of Bush.

But the point, to me, Bede, is that the area and possible reserves are relatively small and will not assuage our dependence on foreign oil sources to any worthwhile degree. Not a 'fall on my sword' issue with the Bushies. There's so much more they're f*cking up in much bigger ways. ;)

I think it is HYSTERICAL that you think it's the Dems who engage in class warfare.
Well, now that I think about it, Reps don't even acknowledge through their policies or actions that there are any classes below 'wealthy.' So if there is any class warfare, it has to be the Dems as they acknowledge that there are different classes.

This same agruement has been going on between the Democrats and the Republicans for decades now. I'm not saying who's better or worse, but I do know that this old saying is true….figures lie and liars figure.
The rise in the price of education is universal. Tony Blair just went through a nail biting time over here in Parliment to raise the price of top up fees for university students. I'm not sure but I thought it was about £2000 per year. I'm sure that Markie, Lulu and Mankie know more about that than me.

Oh please. Have you ever bothered to listen to Daschle? He's a bigger class warrior than Bush or Dean.

Of course I can't break it down, and I admitted that I pulled that figure out of the air (or out of my ass, whichever image you prefer), but I'll bet it's pretty close, if not too small.
And, if you are going to make up a number, why not $10,000 or $100,000? It's rounder.

How can we deny it exists? The multi-millionaire personal injury lawyer and the multi-millionaire spouse of an heiress tell us about the class wars everyday.

that's a fair point. . .however, other than conservation and cafe standards (which, i might add, the unions are against), we have to find new sources of oil and/or natural gas. lng will help for electricity, but until electric or natural gas cars are economically viable, it'll take another 1970s gas crisis for people to buy their ford fiestas.

Well guiny, I didn't think you would experience your $7000 in one day, one week or even one year. That would happen over matter of years. But I'll bet you have lost twice your rebate by this time in fees, costs, etc.
Believe me or not, I don't care – it's your money. Hope you really enjoyed the $150.
