Proudly addicted to oil
Here's a good article at RealClearPolitics addressing President Bush's ridiculous comments during the State of the Union address about the US being "addicted to oil":

An addict will ignore the terrible harm they are doing to their own body. Our society ignores the damage our use of oil does to our natural environment.
There have been many recent disturbing changes in the world's climate. To find out more ask any climatologist who does not regularly receive checks from the Oil Industry.
The real question we have to ask is not how much we can continue to grow our economy on the remaining fumes of our fossil fuel resources.
It is will our society be able to get in rehab quickly enough to save our sorry oil addicted ass?

SUBJECT: ENDING THE WORLD'S ADDICTION TO OIL--EMPOWERING THE PEOPLE
Please be advised that there is an important new book available on subject.
The book is: "HOW TO LIVE WELL WITHOUT OWNING A CAR" by Chris Balish.
This book provides a voluntary, step-by-step, plan to empower all people in the fight to reduce the number of cars on the road, to break the world's addiction to oil, and to stop global warming. Car sharing is an important part of this plan.
This is a good plan that could be a great plan if governments would offer a few incentives to further encourage its adoption.
Sincerely,
Tom Balish
