With all due respect, most corporations are in the business of selling their customers what they want. It is the very rare (non-monopoly anyway) company that can build a successful business model on telling consumers what they want isn't really what they should have.

now you're just talkin crazy.

See, I one of those dumb, dumber that *feces*, cannot out-smart a fifth grader folks that bought a Chevy Tahoe in all of its large, gas guzzling girth.  I don't regret it either, so I guess that also makes me the ugly American.

Bagged, tagged, and labeled.

 




seriously, the greatest crime committed by this country's government was not makine the EROEI/ oil crisis  public knowledge 20 years ago.  it has been known.  makes you wonder .
 

If the public ever listened to the government I'd agree - but I don't think it would have made much difference.  The only thing that would have would have been $5/gallon gas.  And the president that presided over that one would have been out of office next election.  Perhaps Nixon should have done it as his last act before stepping into the copter.  Or Reagan as he left - he wouldn't even have remembered  (bad hobbit, bad  )
