Remember the old WW2 poster, "When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Hitler?"
http://www.francey.org/preview.php?template=hitler
It said that unless you do your best to conserve oil, you are working against the United States...and for Hitler.

With the US fighting TWO wars in the Middle East, and barrels of oil at record prices, is it tasteful for auto sports to be consuming oil for fun?

And why aren't everyday consumers being asked to conserve like back in the old days?

I have an ongoing debate with someone about Target -- she claims they're owned by the French and refuses to shop there because French people are rude (a ridiculous reason). Also, she says they refuse to allow Salvation Army bell-ringers to stand in front of their stores during the holidays. All this may be true, but it can't be as bad as Wal Mart, right? (Yes, I've seen "The High Cost of Low Prices.")

It's mind boggling to hear them accuse President Bush of creating a ruse because of elections. If 20 planes had gone down, what would they have said then?

There are many 'initiatives' out there asking people to "get out and vote," such as the Rock the Vote and Vote or Die campains. What do you think of provoking uneducated/uninformed people to vote?

Individuals sometimes have better solutions than politicians. It would be interesting to hear some opinions on how that little powerless peon and his regime can reasonably, thoroughly and quickly be rooted out.

...who doubts that we must fight for our lives and our way of life? Western civilization is under attack by Muslim extremists who do not follow any of the Geneva Convention's rules of engagement. The UN is useless and cannot or will not act to stop the killing of innocent civilians around the world. When will we wake up to this growing threat? Do you now agree that Islam extremists have declared war upon Western Civilization and in particular, America?

In the Asian, African and Latin American countries, well over 500 million people are living in what the World Bank has called "absolute poverty"

Every year 15 million children die of hunger

For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years

Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented for the price of ten Stealth bombers, or what the world spends on its military in two days!

The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving- Since you've entered this site at least 200 people have died of starvation. Over 4 million will die this year.

One in twelve people worldwide is malnourished, including 160 million children under the age of 5. United Nations Food and Agriculture

The Indian subcontinent has nearly half the world's hungry people. Africa and the rest of Asia together have approximately 40%, and the remaining hungry people are found in Latin America and other parts of the world. Hunger in Global Economy

Nearly one in four people, 1.3 billion - a majority of humanity - live on less than $1 per day, while the world's 358 billionaires have assets exceeding the combined annual incomes of countries with 45 percent of the world's people. UNICEF

3 billion people in the world today struggle to survive on US$2/day.

In 1994 the Urban Institute in Washington DC estimated that one out of 6 elderly people in the U.S. has an inadequate diet.

In the U.S. hunger and race are related. In 1991 46% of African-American children were chronically hungry, and 40% of Latino children were chronically hungry compared to 16% of white children.

The infant mortality rate is closely linked to inadequate nutrition among pregnant women. The U.S. ranks 23rd among industrial nations in infant mortality. African-American infants die at nearly twice the rate of white infants.

One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night.

Half of all children under five years of age in South Asia and one third of those in sub-Saharan Africa are malnourished.

In 1997 alone, the lives of at least 300,000 young children were saved by vitamin A supplementation programmes in developing countries.

Malnutrition is implicated in more than half of all child deaths worldwide - a proportion unmatched by any infectious disease since the Black Death

About 183 million children weigh less than they should for their age

To satisfy the world's sanitation and food requirements would cost only US$13 billion- what the people of the United States and the European Union spend on perfume each year.

The assets of the world's three richest men are more than the combined GNP of all the least developed countries on the planet.

Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger

It is estimated that some 800 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition, about 100 times as many as those who actually die from it each year.
