As for Unions their only purpose now'a'days is to keep people (who deserve it) from getting fired. The UAW is a MAIN reason the US can't produce a profit from making cars. Ethanol is worthless, there is plenty of oil and if we were to buy from Brazil what do you think OPEC would do to the price of oil if something as crappy as ethanol was competing with it?? What OPEC ALWAYS DOES raise the prices OR cut production.....OR maybe have some "attacks" on pipelines
The UAW,right,Quote:

Who do you think pays to keep ethanol production down?
Im sorry,the two largest quarterly profits ever posted by percenatge and gross,ever in the human history are by Exxon/Mobil and your crying for the fuel industry?
So you suggest the way to fight Opec is to deny any other sources of alternative fuels??? :confused:
While I think that corn ethanol is a losers game, I am not convinced (and am no expert of course) that other sources of ethanol aren't viable. While ethanol is an inferior product, if it is cheap enough I have no doubt that it can work.
I think you have stated a gross overstatement of unions Lyle. For someone that was a political science major, you should know that very few broad, over-reaching statements are thoroughly correct. Unions interact in a variety of complex ways with our changing economy, and just by pointing out UAW, which probably is the largest union, is unfair.
Blanket statements of any topic are generally incorrect.
As for the "attacks on pipelines"; when people succumb to fear in such a silly way, they might as well give up.
The UAW has pensions to pay for and can't turn big profits because of it.Quote:

Once again, who taxes Exxon/Mobil....larger priofits = more money for the government
The way to stick it to OPEC is to produce our own oil.Quote:

I was a PSYCHOLOGY major... Unions have done good in the past but have done nothing lately

Oh har de har,did you just move here?
Theyve got 5 million caman islands hidey hole to stash the loot in,they arent paying crap
You are,but they aint baby boy,Im betting you dollars to donoughts the head of Exxon would need pie charts to explain to him what income tax is
The government makes money off of the company...the CEO is something completely different.

....and that isn't going to be like George W. Bush?!?!?!
Man your election races are the biggest waste of money I have seen in my life, you could put that into something useful for the world. Instead they do millions of interviews and rallies, picking up every single mistake the other makes and this is just for the candidacy of a party? It's a joke.
We're working with what we have and doing ok with it
And so tonight Hillary takes another swift kick in the snatch, as John Edwards publicly throws his support behind Obama. Is this a move for the party to unify? A sign that Edwards may end up a running mate? Will the stars align and a blackhole emerge as we all collapse into a vast space/time continuum? Is eating cheetos in the nude sexy? Inquiring minds need to know.
Film at 11.
Yeah considering she just demolished him in West Virginia...Edwards' decision doesn't mean much.
If I was a Democrat I'd be worried about Michigan and Florida...you can't just give those votes away come November. You don't seat any of those delegates and you run the risk of pissing off some voters.
It was a conceeded state Lyle
...he needed to do better than he did. I understand Hillary was going to win anyway but you don' t let her run the score up like she did.
And how the hell is Obama going to win if he's conceeding states like West Virginia...West Virginia isn't much different from Iowa which Obama won.
As for Michigan and Florida the DNC is cutting off it's nose to spite their face. The RNC punished them but they still had a say in the primary after that punishment...the DNC basically said "Fuck off, you didn't listen, you don't count" and I'm not cheering for them to seat those delegates because 1. Obama is an easier candidate to beat and 2. Those voters are going to remember what happened with them and FLORIDA has already hurt the Democrats before and seems like it will do it again.
