I am sorry you feel that way, Sir.

Americans are best with their backs to the wall. We are a culture of extreme problem solvers. However, it should be noted we do
NOTHING unless the challenge is pressing, urgent, and imminent - the danger must be right on top of us - extreme. With $7 per gallon gas - You'd have 300 million people making a mad dash to fix the problem. Americans loathe unnecessary pain.
Our imaginations must be engaged to respond. With Energy - We're getting there.
Pain is good.
