ParticipantI do my own yard work. That saves a lot of money and is very satisfying. There are a lot of ways to cut back if you compare yourself to your parents life style it is obvious that many of us are pampered compared to our parents and grandparents. I think one of the reasons they were the greatest generation (grandparents) was because they did not whine about their lot in life, but generally made the best of it. I also appreciate what great recyclers my parents and grandparents were. They did not waste anything. I am not one to think that a severe economic downturn will be a good thing, but I believe we can all learn to be more conservative in some areas of our lives.

ParticipantThe U.S.’ Untapped Oil Bounty
There’s enough oil to power the nation for three centuries without OPEC’s help — IF we’re willing to go after it.

ParticipantAllanfromFallbrook:
Reagarding some of your discussion about human rights- I think the issue with the Iran Contra problem was because Reagan listened to Kirkpatrick’s theory about totalitarian regimes being unchangeable. She felt it was better to support a “soft” authoritarinan regime than an unchangeable communist regime. Of course this was disproved when the Soviet Union collapsed. If it comes back to life, perhaps whe will be vindicated (as the Cold War rekindles). I think Reagan trusted his advisors too much to his detriment.
