Thats anything but a quick fix. Elected officials need to tell the American people the truth before the sides of the hole collapse in on us and bury us alive. There is no quick fix for high fuel prices. Its going to be a conglomerate of smaller fixes that get us out of our hole. Conservation and renewable sources should be at the top of our list.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">ajm8127</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:35:14 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
