WE NEED REAL LEADERSHIP AND SOON or we suffer second tier status within a generation

Sorry so late Warp....
I bought Toyota Corollas from 1973 to 1995. Have seen several Smart-cars, among others...Kia Spectra, etc. The Hybrids are in their infancy, but they're here to stay. I'm waiting with my 93' Accord to see how Toyota's doing with the Prius line.
The American auto makers have always been late....too many levels of Supervisors/VPs with giant salaries to affect changes.
We can and will get off, as much as possible, of fossil fuels....too much monopoly to big oil...and out of sight prices... I think it's going to be interesting to watch WallStreet and big oil prices....when next year's hybrids are on the shelves. It's all about speculation. It was in 73'. Tankers just sat off both coasts waiting for WallStreet and the "OK" from the oil CEOs for profits.

I've been trying like hell to get my woman to warm up to this idea for a long time. Switzerland is my exact pic too!!!! I spent almost a year over in Europe and whenever anyone asked where I was from I told them Nova Scotia..... except when in Isreal.

you know, I was very close to heading off to New Zealand indefinitely about 4 years ago. Essentially you need to make your move there pre age 30 or they want no part of you unless you're a doctor. Once over age 30 you have to deposit 300K in a New Zealand bank to demonstrate legitimate interest in being a productive member of society as apparently their social programs are a real draw and a lot of dead beats go there.

I wonder what the restrictions are for relocating to a country like Switzerland.

end of day, I'll probably never leave New England again. I did my four years away from here. Family and sense of place are strong despite all the BS I/we put up with as US citizens that often lead me to believe there might be better options out there.

I wonder how well the ski season is going down there this summer? ... I will have to google it and try to find out.

Emigrating to Switzerland is difficult and citizenship is nearly impossible without a ton of money and connections. Think Mark Rich, Clinton's Pardon Poster Boy. That kinda money.

Here's a new twist on gas as a currency

Have you guys seen the old movie White Christmas? Those guys rode the train to Vermont to come up and ski. Imagine that, train service.

I'm of the opinion that sooner or later we're going to have to rebuild that national rail network that we so foolishly tore up because gas was so cheap. It's going to be expensive.

More oil related whackiness emerging. I guess they'll be sacrificing virgins when it hits 150
