Amazing, how people refuse to accept things in front of their faces. What's it going to take to convince you, duane, bush sending most of your family off to die for no good reason? Your friends? That's what's going to happen. In case you didn't happen to notice, U.S. sympathy was at an all-time high right after 9/11, and less than a year later, people were out screaming for our blood. You've gotta do some pretty stupid things to make the world's opinions shift like that, especially in less than a year. And you don't care about what everyone else on the planet thinks? Boy, I hope you don't drive then. Where do you think most of the oil we use comes from? That's right, pardner, it comes from the rest of the world, whom you don't want to give a fuck about. Let's take one example. What would happen if, say, Venezuela decided to cut off exports to us? Hmm? There goes over 10% of our oil imports. What happens then, smart guy? Do you think prices for everything that uses oil in some way aren't going to skyrocket? $2.15 for a gallon of gas is pretty bad right now. What do you say to $4.00 a gallon? Maybe five? But no, that doesn't matter, because we don't give a fuck about the rest of the world. What happens when the cost of food goes up, to cover getting it to the store? Ever ride a plane? Think your ticket's going to go down in price? You see, you stupid fuck, our economy isn't self reliant. It never was. And our trade deficit is bigger than ever, thanks to your 'boy' there in washington. You rest your case? Son, you need to learn your case before you rest it.
