ParticipantOur President mentioned in the 2006 State of the Union address that ‘America is addicted to oil’.
But I don’t see how drilling in the ANWAR is going to break that addiction.
If our Oil addiction was like Heroin, and ANWAR drilling could be our Methadone…..I would listen to that plan.
But up till now it sounds like ANWAR drilling would just feed the beast for a few more years… then what?

ParticipantWhat is Starbucks a symbol of?
As PabloE mentioned, a Starbucks coffee is one of the first luxury items people can forgo when money’s tight. $4 dollar coffee is a luxury, plain and simple.
But I’m hoping a Starbucks contraction is more than a sign of a drop in consumer spending, more than a change in spending habits. I want it to mark the beginning of a separation from the overly materialistic, overly consumptive culture we live in – exemplified when we see 2, 3 green and white Starbucks signs within 2 blocks of each other.
Is that just wishful thinking, or could this really suggest a return to modest lifestyles where people really live within their means?

ParticipantI agree with Gandalf, this is a weak post topic. Say something about Real Estate, fuquette and bring data.
