Loree,

An interesting question. How connected are the two? I have long debated the neccessity to become aggresive about getting off of foreign oil (a long, long debate here with me and Sway). If we were not dependent upon other people for our energy needs, imagine where we would be today?

And imagine if we had spent the X-Trillions of dollars on gettting energy dependent instead of the AIG's of the world. What would that look like now??? Of course, the Swiss banks, Hugo Chavez, and Saudi Princess would be hurting, but hey - ya gotta make some tough sacrifices!
