My America

I started this blog as a means of letting out or vetting my opinions and/or concerns about where this country is heading. I've been around the block a few times and what I see in our country today scares the BeJesus out of me. Since this is my first post please bear with me and hopefully (lol) this will get better. Today I'm tackling oil. We need so much oil..prices keep rising..and because we get most of our oil from foreign sources, we have NO control over prices. Why not drill in our own country? Several attempts have been made to persuade people, on both coasts, to drill off shore. The oil rigs would be out about 11 miles or more and would not even been seen from land..yet people keep resisting the idea. Wake UP Folks!! We will never really be in control of our future as long as we are so highly dependant on others. Yes it would cost alot of $$ but at least the money would stay in this country, putting people to work. The are different opinions on how much oil we could produce but it would last us for hundreds..yes..hundreds of years. Thanks for reading and that's it for today
