I hope the public will start consistently seeing beyond gimmick politics, but it remains to be seen how long it will take before we really rise as a nation to solve our problems...so far it's been easier to blame Iraq, or Iran, or terrorists....anyone but ourselves.

You know everyone gives Jimmy Carter shit as being this terrible president, but when he entered the Whitehouse, one of the first things he did was to install solar panels on the roof of the home of the president. This was a great example for the rest of the country to begin to push for alternative energies.
I've long respected Carter for the positions he has taken, and for the work he has done.
