A letter to my president

Dear Mr.President,
Now comes a time when a true leader must arise. The problem that is at hand can be fixed and with little effort. The budget, EPA restrictions, GMO food ...all these disruptions of faith and hope. Well I have an answer to the problem... I am posting this via the internet to get feedback and maybe someone could elaborate on this plan and make it even better.
With the issue of peak oil, the solution is as simple as supply and demand...the current technology in the internal combustion engine is be far obsolete, I am sure if one would look through the patent office one would fine that there are several patents that make fossil fuels more efficient as well as other avenues of using other more sustainable fuels.
Lets combine technologies and create the best most efficient engine there is(ok maybe its not the most profitable thing to build something that lasts and is most efficient, however it satisfies the term that seems to resonate in congress these days "Long Term") One doesn't have to think very hard to come up with a solution to this issue yet congress has created a conundrum of the issue, as if we were too stupid to really see its an easy fix.
Peak oil = The point where we are using more than we can find create or procure. This is a profound statement "Peak Oil" is not a finite term. it can be influence by drilling and finding more(unlikely) or by using less(bingo!!!). Lets assume the number is one million barrels of oil is used daily (hypothetically speaking) and we can assume its broken down to 60% is for gasoline and diesel products,20% for plastics and 20% for other(chemicals and whatnot). If we concentrate on the largest number the amount of time that oil can support us is declining rapidly,However, change the number and the equation changes. lets assume we could cut that number in half. then the breakdown would look like this 30%+20%+20%and 30% to savings. This is impossible you say there is no way to cut it in half ...but there is!!!
1) start by taking all of the office workers and that means the workers that go to work to sit in front of a computer everyday and allow them to stay home and work. Most positions that require data input or output etc... this would mean less traffic less people commuting everyday.
2) bring education back to the home where the parent(who now works from home) could be not only caretaker of the education. (Computerized education)
3)restrict commercial vehicles from operating during peak traffic times.(slowing commuters and commercial traffic means unnecessary fuel consumption)
The savings from these actions would be enormous...less commuters, no school buses, no more gridlock on the highway burning up fuel, and even saving from engery costs to heat or cool the bricks and mortar types of schools or offices. Another beneficial by product is "family" on or more parents at home rearing the child from toddler to adult creating strong family values and morals ( children are less likely to be influence by drugs or gang activity)
These step would drastically reduce the feul consumption and relieve our dependence on oil with immediate results.
Some long term projects that would help out would be the High Speed Mag-Lev train system that was "De-railed" in 2000 by the former president this train system is safeer than flying and uses electricity for propulsion.
so to recap:
_reduce the commuter consumption
_reduce school bus consumption (also saves taxes for physical schools as they would no longer be useful or be converted to community centers. with operation costs cut dramatically)
_road traffic would diminish and road resurfacing needs would decline
_Mag-Lev implementation removes the burden of fuel from transportation and also provides a safer method of travel (you cannot crash a mag lev train into a skyscraper and it can be shut down remotely)
_finally the effects of bringing families back together in the home would create a better community and happier population(less crime).
The world used to look at the USA with envy and desire. Lately we are the object of disgrace and disgust. Lets set the stage for Act 2 ---"America in example"
May God grant you the patience peace and wisdom to direct us in the right direction and the grace and hope of the people to guide your decisions.

Sincerely, Earthwalker (The White Buffalo)

    • Its an open letter...vote it up ...share it ...add your ideas as well...this is how it gets to him and all those that need to see it.
      I am afraid it may not make a difference unless there is a overwhelming response to this letter (on the peoples part) our president may just be daniel in the lions den but he must be shown that faith and hope are more than fear and dread. It wouldn't surprise me at all to think, that though holding the highest position in are country, that one would find themselves hostage to the money grind of the privileged and wealthy. Our president needs us more than ever and in this time... our country needs us even more. The proof is in watching c-span(which gets me sick) and the context of the debates about budget...Cutting programs like the EPA,FDA Etc.. would jeopardize every single American all in the name of budget cuts!!!...it didn't bother the rep party to spend trillions of dollars when G.W. was in power on a war that gets US (the people) nothing but a bad reputation. they have turned our military into a corporate bully that not only is sucking us dry but also is incapable of the security it claims(hence sept. eleven). I say enough of this, enough of the mudslinging rhetoric and present to those who claim they represent us real options and make them listen or we will tax the s#1t out of them...It is not only wrong to put the burden of debt on an individual that did not create that debt but, it is an injustice to inherit that debt by being born into it....discrimination is no longer about race,creed, religion,or sexual orientation. It can no longer hide in the shadows of the fore-mentioned. Discrimination has now shown its true face and is exposed for all to see...it is financial discrimination and it shows no mercy. Tax The Dollar!!! if you own it,the dollar, its you obligation to pay the tax for it, for built in to every dollar is DEBT!!!

    • How can we send this to the President?? You are spot on! I'm already doing the home schooling and because of gas prices my sister & I are doing 1 hour
      service for my 14 yr old grandson on Sundays, I'm doing personal development
      & she is doing bible study ( we trade off ). Then 2 Sundays we go to church.
      You have so many great Ideas, I know there are so many people who are
      ready for a change , a big change in how we live and work. We HAVE to change
      something! We cannot keep living this way!
