Well not very good news coming out of Iraq yesterday.

US scrambles to keep Iraqi political process on track

"US officials scrambled to keep Iraq's political process on track despite a deadlock in drafting a new constitution that clouded Washington's hopes for an exit strategy after 29 months of war."

Let's hope it's a short delay. If a constitution is not agreed upon by August 22 now, then the whole government is dissolved, and I think that would cause chaos.

In other news gas prices continue to rise.

Ok I mean I know that in Great Britain they pay approximately the equivalent to over $7 US for gasoline. But our economy is based on having a low gasoline price. Most of our cities and towns are not built like cities and towns in Europe. Most of our cities are not built to really support mass mass transit. Sure NYC has a good subway system, but what about Phoenix, what about Cincinnati, hell what about Albuquerque? Yeah exactly, our society, our suburbs are built with car driving, low gasoline prices in mind.

We MUST start finding alternative sources of energy, especially to power our vehicles and we must start NOW! I don't know why this is not a bigger issue. Why do people laugh and call us who bring it up crazy environmentalists? I don't understand why conservatives would not embrace this, if they really want to make our country secure, and independent from the Middle East. Ah well.
