The flip side of freedom is responsibility. The current
politicians have brainwashed us into believing that self interest is the
only important issue. The free market system is amoral and is not concerned
with responsibility. It is only concerned with profit.

Remember, if we save a buck on cheap energy now, it is on the
backs of our grand children and great grandchildren. Let's not have them
look back on us and have to think we were selfish and only worried about
short term profit.

There is no freedom without responsibility. Freedom at the mercy
of others, weather in the present or the future, is just displaced bondage.
