If I were to open a car lot and offer to sell you an SUV or Mini-Van that could get 60 miles per gallon, do you think it would sell? Or what if that same lot had cars that could get 100 miles per gallon or more? Do you think I'd be in business?

Little irritates me more than to have GW stand up on National Television and tell me I'm addicted to oil. If they were to take away all cash money, would it be right to say we've become addicted to credit cards? Likewise, if we took away all forms of motorized transportation, would it make any sense at all to chastise those who ride bicycles?

The reality is, with respect to our consumption of oil, we've been given absolutely no choice. Our options have literally been taken away from us, suppressed by special interests related to oil consumption. Something, most likely oil companies and/or their allies, have prevented alternatives from advancing and arising. They do it by suppression of superior technological advancement by buying the technology and squashing it, or by purchasing the patents and effectively throwing them away. This is an absolute fact, regardless of the "internet-hoax" we've been told it is.

How do I know this? In 1985 (that's 23 years ago if you need help with math), I owned a car that got 65 miles to the gallon!!!! It was a Volkswagen rabbit diesel, a very small car at the time, but certainly no smaller than the first generation hybrids. We drove that car from Los Angeles, CA to Carlsbad, NM on a single 15 gallon tank of gas! That's about 950 miles. In the entire trip from Los Angeles, CA to Shreveport, LA, some 1,600 miles, we filled the car up once, and had a third of a tank left over when we arrived. Keep in mind, we did this in 1987 in a car we bought in 1985.

I would love for anyone to come forward and explain to me where that technology is today. And while they're searching for the words to try and explain it with any form of sanity, they can try, but will fail, to further convince me that this same technology wouldn't be vastly improved today, some 23 years later, had it been allowed to advance and evolve as all good products do. Consider how far computers and telephones have come in that same amount of time. If the same technology that was in that little rabbit in 1985 had been allowed to advance, cars the size of our "ingenious" hybrids would likely be getting 100 miles per gallon or more, and the big "gas guzzler" SUVs and trucks would probably be sitting at the 60 mpg level.

However, had it been allowed to advance, whose pockets would have been hit hardest? No surprise then that this technology is totally MIA while, at the same time, we're being told we are addicted to oil. And who benefits from this "addiction" that has been brought about by the clear suppression of technological advancements that would absolutely have prevented it? Mr. $21.7 million and his golf buddies, that's who!

...because, divided we fall...

A tool for taking back
OUR government!
