There's always time for the good things....

As a general rule, applause is not accepted here. Today is the exception. I have a few items I'd like to share that bear a glimmer of hope:

1. The Supreme Court gave it's opinion on the Second Amendment for the first time ever last week. And guess what? The Second Amendment is an inherent INDIVIDUAL right not to be infringed! That's right hippies- Quit your 'yappin already.

2. Las Vegas Nevada is the home to the world's largest strip club. The Sapphire is a 71,000 square foot gentleman's club with VIP SKYBOXES, 3 separate lounges, and in addition to skinny strippers.....VOLUPTUOUS ONES TOO!!!

3. The Big Red Machine finally got something done. And no, I don't mean the 'Duty. I mean the club on Capitol Hill. Oil prices are subject to supply and demand, but they are also subject to speculators who have lost control. Congress' research shows that gas prices are inflated by 30-50% above margin. What are they going to do about it? They are putting a growth ceiling on speculation making it unattractive to invest in. What happens then? Prices plummet. How much? Who knows? 20%, 30%, 50%. Wait and see folks. It only gets better from here. Not to mention it is now attractive to harvest the giant Canadian Shield's Tar sands. (Remember what I said months ago? Oil prices are going to go down.....give it time.) Now's the time.

4. Americans need a reason to do anything. We're lazy by nature.

Then- The levels of lead in our atmosphere were astronomically high in the 70s due to "leaded gasoline". We realized this was unacceptable. We made "unleaded gasoline", stopped dumping lead waste, removed lead from sport fishing and shooting, and now the levels of lead are lower than they have ever been since records began.

Now- Gas prices are ridiculous. Pollution is worse. The public transportation lines across America are at full capacity. Everyone is carpooling. More people are walking or biking. Scooters run rampant across city streets. Demand is falling for oil. And prices are too.
