nwr writes: Thus far, *we* the people have no definite gauge as to who employs scare tactics and who (which ideology in power at the moment) actually *does* scary things. I have rightly been accused of listening to You Tube videos which themselves are often sensationalist. Without dragging this topic (another Climate Change/Global warming one?) off, I will redirect this rabbit trail here. Right wingers are the primary users of scare tactics. marc9000, I want your opinion, but lets discuss it over in Testing The Financial Apologists. Message 128

Theo,addressing marc9000 writes: It seems to me that he is calling out a Democratic government for passing laws for the all-inclusive "good of the people." In short, an authoritarian government.
You have just proven you are an idiot. What laws are you yammering about?

Actually, I have read that book, but not in some time.
Need I defend myself, I am not an extreme Right Winger politically. I never liked Trump, although ringo accuses me of following in his footsteps. For the record, I am pro-private property rights, and pro-business over government monopoly of technology(I know that you were ex-military and so can see the other side of that argument) You all might be interested in my recent topic: Message 1The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Oil is a substance. It's a lubricant, it's needed in the manufacture of rubber and plastic products, and has many other uses, it's not only burned for energy. Nuclear and fission and all of that are just energy, not physical substances.Taq writes: I think what marc9000 is trying to say is that he opposes "the government" shutting down the oil and gas industry so rapidly when the US still needs oil on many other levels than simply burning it for energy.

xongsmith, addressing marc9K writes: Again, looking at it from what I think marc9K's view is, we are worried that an overzealous government, acting "for the good of the people", is destroying the oil and gas industry and that the issue is not so much about fossil fuels. We realize that fossil fuel needs will and even *should* be downsized. We are more concerned with the government's authoritarian mandate to shut down the "fossil fuel" industry too rapidly. As marc has tried to point out, this industry is involved in a lot more industries than simply gasoline and heating oil. Big government has no power to change and shape society without the private industries which gave the nation its power in the first place. i think the changes to renewable energies will take time and the CEOs who haven't already built up stockpiles of alternate stocks will go the way of the horse and buggy whip industry.The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Watch the Social Dilemma. It's a good documentary

ringo writes: True enough. This does not mean that we collectively need to morph towards a one-world "democratic" government that markets itself "for the good of all people". People are fickle. There should always be at least a two-party system.

You cant very well mandate electric vehicles when your blessed poor people cannot afford them. And passing the expense on to the next class up only brings that class down.

There are no cheap used ones. The working class cannot afford new cars.
