I don't. I just know there's a difference between a definition and a fruit.

I asked you first.

As for Gore, why shouldn't it be fair game to wonder what he thinks about Obama's decision, given Gore's opposition to offshore drilling and Obama's vocal support of Gore's efforts?

I thought it was a fair point, given that young enrivonmentalists are already squealing about it.

It's absolutely a fair point. IIRC, back during the campaign Obama was even talking about making Gore part of his administration.

Except that the stratification is worse in socialism, and unlike capitalism usually has to be maintained through military force once people realize that.

Socialism implies a classless society. Whether or not it's actually realizable is debatable.

It's not if it's imposed. The second you impose it the imposers because the upperclass. Extreme.

Most of the states that people associate with socialism today are really mixed economic models.

Socialism works quite well under a Democratic and larger capitalistic umbrella, it works even better if you don't use the government to implement it.

Might have something to do with me feeling capable of thinking for myself. A concept that apparently is above your head, given your response.

Ok, so your going to worry about something that means nothing...smart move... get back to your thinking...

I like how "the left" tells GGA that what Gore thinks about all this is not important, but Darrin's motivations behind wondering what Gore thinks are.

So for those scoring at home:

Worrying about what Gore thinks about Obama's decision to expand offshore drilling = not important.

Worrying about whether or not Darrin gives Obama credit for his decision to expand offshore drilling = important.

Worrying about why Darrin cares what Gore thinks = important.

Worrying about anything the left doesn't care about = not important.

Thinking for yourself = not important.

What are the details first?

Are the fees so high as not to be worth it, making it another political stunt?

I will give Obama credit for this if he did change his mind. Remember however, it is his flip-flop. Not mine.

Wouldn't that be a gas if any oil company wanting to drill had to be nationalized...

Don't worry WC, I think everyone recognizes this as one of quite a few flip-flops Obama's made ie. wiretapping, detainees, public option, etc etc.

Don't forget. He didn't commit to drilling. This was actually a win for the left. He allows for exploration... no mention of drilling, and put even more area off limits at the same time!

I know, weak pun. However, they do get natural gas also. Not just crude.
