How fortuitous for all of us that the price of oil conveniently went down before the election, lowering gas prices. That was why they went down, right? Not because the oil companies tried to keep Republicans in power & continue their carte-blanche control over the White House and its rubber-stamp Congress.

Most Dem's predicted that gas prices would go up again after the election, & Repub's were saying that's nonsense. President Bush can't control oil prices, so there's no connection. True he (and Lord Cheney) can't directly control gas prices. Few thought they could. No, the oil companies themselves lowered prices to make us all feel like Bush & his Republican Congress, their proxies, were looking out for us.

Convenient too, how oil prices rose again right after the election. Poor oil companies couldn't do a thing about it. Right?

Finally, G. W. Bush and the Oil Company's representative Dick Cheney are lame ducks. Kinda like the ones on the beach after the Exxon Valdez affair.

Just to note I am 16 years old. I know the world is going to have some problems in the future, such as the depletion of many natural recourses (petroleum being the big one) and the dilemma with global warming. So why do people have such little faith in humanity? We have had hard times in the past before, and, as I read in the ‘best answer’ to Mr. Steven Hawking’s question, “we have adapted and prospered from it”.

Thank you for your time in answering this question.

Lebanon is finding out what the United States allready knew. Hezbollah can not be trusted. The want to take over the goverment so Syria can run the country again. Syria & Iran back Hezbollah so they can run that whole part of the middle east. Are these people (Syria & Iran) the countries to help stop the violance in Iraq?

Does anyone know where all the money that was donated to New Orleans from individuals and the governmnet went to??

Do you know of any websites that breaks down what the money went to?

I live in New orleans and am very curious!! Because what I have seen is people using their OWN money to rebuild. Whether it was from savings, insurance, or a loan.

My family spent our own personal money rebuilding businesses and our houses. I did get $2000.00 at the very beginning after the hurricane hit, but so did everyone else. It was to float people until they could come back.

But I am very interested and curious about where the donated money from individuals (almost 5 billion dollars) and the money given by the government is going or went!!!???????

Thank you so much!!

I believe Iran is developing nuclear wepaons, but are they a threat without these WMD's? When they showed off their military might, is it really there or is it just a feigning display to intimidate? Is Iran even a threat to the West?

I think we should always have independant nuclear weapons. The first duty of a government should be to protect the people, now and in the future against threats yet to materialise.
Its sad that we have to have them, as i dont like nuclear weapons, not in the slightest. But i'd rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them.
