[quote user="Modelcar"] ....sfcouple:Yes I do....to answer your question "working together"....There certainly is something OPEC countries have a serious need for that "importing countries produce".....So, bring out the bargining chips...!On the "What do I mean get real".....For starters, give the slogans a rest and tell the American people the truth, it that's possible  and let us know what really can be done.....The back and forth between this one half and that one half of authorities leaves us right where we've been for some time.  Agree what really we can do to fight this problem, tell the American people....and let everyone know what they possibly can do too.....and let's start doing it.If it would just have been throwing slogans around back when we were trying to gear up to fight WWII...our efforts would have fallen short.   The whole country pulled together and bingo....we got it done.  Everyone pitched in and the rest is history.I was a teen ager but we as Boy scouts were let out of school to work full days on paper drives....scrap metal round ups...and so on....The whole country geared up to run the mills and factorys with people whom never worked in them before....women, and so on....Everybody had something that could put forth the effort....![/quote]I am not sure what you mean by slogans, but the reason there is a back and forth is that there is a big difference of opinion on what to do about this issue.  If you are distressed about high gas prices, it is probably easy to believe everybody else feels the same way, so we should all pull together and do something about it.  But I would guess that at least 25% of the population of this county and at least half of our political leadership could not be happier about the high gas prices.  Their only answer is that we need to use less gas even if we have to give up our cars, move back into the city, and use public transportation when we need to go somewhere.  Apparently that is not a satisfactory solution to the other 75% of the people.  I agree that if we were this divided over fighting WWII, we would have lost.  But divided we are today over this energy issue, so it seems to me that the only way it will end is for one side to prevail.
