For those of you who may be thinking that my last posting about oil importation was extremely random... I agree!
I was browsing the wonderful WWW and came across the oil import data and it intrigued me. I'm sure this was brought on by a book I read a few weeks back, The First Billions the Hardest by T Boone Pickens, in which Mr. Pickens tells the story of his rise and fall in the oil business as well as his ideas for America's energy independence in the future.
Reasoning aside, the data is alarming, and it proves that energy independence really should be a serious and immediate goal for America. Currently that's not the case, it is on the agenda, however it doesn't seem to be very important right now.
Washington only seems to be concerned with forcing socialist ideology down our throats while chanting "Yes We Can" and not the real problems threatening America, like the economy, jobs, national debt, foreign policy, etc etc.
While Washington is busy brewing more socialist bills and taking away our rights, America is awakening and preparing itself for another battle in the war... 2010 midterm elections.
