Carter's Conserve Energy Plans

I disagree with Carter's conserve energy plans because i fell they are not realistic. One thing he wanted to do was convince people to stop driving so much. This would never work. As long as there are people living in America the will be many cars on the road. Also, many large companies ship many of their supplies by road. Decreasing their driving would decrease their income. Telling people to stop driving would dramatically hurt the US. Taxing gas would also hurt the US. Carter's plan to conserve energy is not a plan that could help Americans' problems.

Protest Song

BRIGHT EYES

"When The President Talks To God"


"When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it"

This song protests against president George Bush. The wirter disagrees with many things that the president did at the time and asks way is does it. The writer talks about how we are sending young people away for no reason to fight a war over oil. Also, he discusses how the president does not fix problems in the United States.
