state of disparity


W, you can't have an aggressive middle-east PR program without making an aggressive change in energy protocol at home. 25% alternative energy by 2025 is not enough. we need a gasoline tax and incentives for american car companies to produce---en masse---hybrid vehicles. if there is no demand, we will not get off the sauce.

our kids have been falling behind other developed nations in math and science for years now. we're kicking out our foreign students as soon as they finish their dissertations. when they go back to india or bejing they contribute to the 12% GDP overseas. why not give them visas to help US develop new technologies HERE and give them jobs HERE, maybe give foreign masters students visas to stay and teach math/science/technology in our public schools. we are drowning in our consumerism and our kids don't know any better.
