Airplanes, tanks, and Hum Vs all consume fuel at alarming rates. When there's thousands of them driving around Iraq, Afghanistan, and every where in between, the amount of oil the goverment needs sky rockets.Shoot it like you stole it!

well england is not governed by a monarch these days. they do have a bicameral legislature, but they lack the third branch that the american system has. the english(and many other countries for that matter) elect a prime minister from within the legislature as opposed to a president that is elected outside of the legislature. doesnt mean one type is better than another but the american system adds a third branch (the executive branch) for the purpose of maintaining checks and balances.
the original pilgrims left england for religious freedom, not because they hated being ruled by a king. although i bet they wernt the kings biggest fans either. after the revolutionary war ended there was some calling for george washington to be named the king. he turned it down basing his decision on the fact that we just fought a war to get away from a king. man that gw is was a smart feller.Comment

I have to leave and didn't read the whole thread, but some food for thought.
We fill the strategic reserve with 150,000 barrels a day
86,000,000 barrels a day flow through tht world.
The strategic reserve is .17% of that. Does it really matter?Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - TygerComment

Our system of government was based very closely on the English system. We just refined it and made it work without birth titles and nobilities.

Sorry MarkM,
I have to call you out. Stability does not equal stronger. Stronger equals purchasing power. If I offered you $1,000 US to do a job or $1,000 CAN to do a job, same job mind you, which would you take?
Thought so!
To be honest with you, I am a fan of the weaker dollar. Yes it makes imports more expensive, but it helps our export market tremendously! Also, it makes American made goods compete at price points for imported goods.
Buy American!!!

I understand the point you are tryig to make, but you are wrong...again!Originally posted by MarkM
The US economy is not headed toward recession. Do you know the technical definition of a recession? It is negative growth for consecutive quarters. We have been out of this recession for almost a year now. We are seeing some of the fastest growth in the last 20 years in our economy now. We are out of the recession and growing.
Further Canada's economy is so intertwined with ours that if we go down, they are along for the ride. You can thank NAFTA for that!
