Voting - in november and every day

Many of us seem to think all we need to do is get Obama elected and he will take care of the rest. And the scientists will find a new liquid fuel for our cars as well.

We vote every day with our dollar and our actions. This faith, hope, or whatever you want to call it in our leaders to come is unjustified. It is only through the actions of all, or most, that change will come. Why should obama care about sound economic policy, energy policy, agricultural policy, or climate policy if we don't, as evident by our excesses all over the spectrum?

Drive less, grow some food, have a neighborhood potluck, read a book, buy locally produced food, pick up the trash in front of your house, and encourage other to do the same. One day it will be cool to care about others and the planet. We vote every day, many times a day.

Stop down-talking coal and oil until you stop using electricity and using products made from or transported to you with oil. There is nothing that will come even close to matching the billions of btus produced from fossil fuels. The sooner we accept that the sooner we accept the climate will change or we will change our lifestyles- dramatically.
