Down With Big Chicken Dinner. :)

For years there has been an appetite for the largest commodity of energy, oil. This is the convenient truth. Here in America we discovered oil, drilled it , and pumped the hell out of it, starting in the late 19th century. By the end of the 2nd decade, of the 20th century, it was a staple of the new America.
            Observing the progress made, we must remember that by this time,(1920) we as a nation, were a mere 145 yrs yrs old. That's all it took for this country to go from humble beginnings, to the roaring 20's, were we as a nation, had put an end to the first World War, and became one of the 3, most influential military,and econmic powers in the world.
The growth the United States produced is an example of allowing the people and their hunger for ingenuity, and an increased standard of living, to drive technology and allow  there to be an exponential growth year over year. On every type of product, from toasters, to radios, to cars, to t.v.'s, to telephones.
All of the products we used as a public, evolved into a smaller lighter faster, and more technologically capable product. The one thing that hasn't changed or evolved is the energy we use to run the majority of our day to day lives as a home, business and nation, oil. Unfortunately, the only inconvenience now is, we will require a major disruption to occur in our lives to awaken the majority to come to the realization, that this is the only truth..............   " it is our responsibility as a people to , if we have the technological capacity,, to evolve,, then our obligation to our kind, is to do so". )

There is not any other issue that is on the table right now in our time, that is greater of a burden philosophically, then this one as a species, to examine, that collectively, having a responsibility to our existence , by putting in the forefront of thought with the burden of each decision that  "(in what way can the mass of society benefit from this action or this development") Decision making as a collective, and making these decisions with the moral obligation, will not in any way impede the potential for economic success, on the contrary it would grow at the rate of exponential technological growth.
           So as we shut out the lights tonight, turn off the t.v., power down the computer, recharge the cell phone, plug in your Chevy Volt, wonder to yourself why in the hell are we still using an energy source we discovered 130 yrs ago, in this great America,: the epi- center for technological growth in the cosmos!!!

       Good Night America.
