Steppin' up to "The Show"...for Fox News former anchor/current pundit Tony Snow. By all accounts he is honest, patient and willing to have a civil exchange of views. Here's hoping he can bring fresh outlook and openness ("peristroka" was the word WSJ's David Brooks used) to WH press office that has seemed cranky, suspicious and tad unreliable in its pronouncements since at least last summer. Congrats Mr. Snow. ....Next topic please... at http://www.SavetheInternet.com take a moment and familarize yourself the issue of net neutrality. There's a bill before the Congress that could seriously impact current access to the Web so find out what the fuss is about and sign the petition if you want lawmakers listen.
....Now on to the continuing gas/energy price run up...over 30 years ago a young child would hear adults complain throughout the media about do nothing politicians and price gouging oil companies about secret opec/coporate deals. A favorite gripe concerned squashed fuel efficeint designs or engineering patents and of course the oil tankers waiting just over the horizon filled with fuel waiting for the price to go up a few ticks more.... . Who knows if it was true, false...or a halfed baked plot from an episode of the Six-Million Dollar Man... three decades later who cares.... no part of society in any part of the world made any real changes in technology or behavior that would have gone a long way tward solving the problem. That young child is now The Adult of this century and now all the adults of this time bear the responsibility either confronting or passing on the task of coordinating environmental, energy and economics needs of the planet. Is It That Difficult to have folks work together and solve global problems? Comments, solutions and even criticisms are encouraged
