because she'll probably erase what I wrote (again)

Part 1:

Funny how so many conservatives want to shrink government, yet when
Obama suggests a small step that we as individual citizens can take to
help conserve energy (wholly separate from any congressional action) he
is mocked. And people like Klatu say stuff like "Drill drill drill!
Make congress drill!"

So which is it? Personal responsibility, or big government?

Also, Victoria is (surprise!) wrong about what Obama said. Here's his exact quote:

"There
are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. ... Making
sure your tires are properly inflated - simple thing. But we could save
all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling - if
everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups?
You'd actually save just as much."

He never said anything about "replacing" America's oil reserves - he said that it would save consumers the amount we'd gain from drilling offshore.


Part 2:

Victoria, you wrote "Why don't you put the whole quote in there", and
proceed to emphasize "...But we could save ALL THE OIL THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT GETTIN' OFF DRILLING..."

As if I had left that out. As if, indeed.

Please put on your glasses and re-read my post.

I'll re-post the quote that I put in my last entry, with a nice bold-face font to help you if you need it:

""There
are things you can do individually, though, to save energy. ... Making
sure your tires are properly inflated - simple thing. But we could save
all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling - if everybody was just inflating their tires? And getting regular tune-ups? You'd actually save just as much."
