Woot! has no problem doing it, I don't see why Amazon wouldn't be able to do the same.

You assume they'll label it as a tax. While we might call it a tax, they'll call it the Bald Eagle Investment Bureau for Environmental Restoration Act.

Yes, but the government can make it harder to import/export, and they can "encourage"(subsidize) companies that actively "drill" within our borders.

I'm not saying I'd recommend that or that it would bring prices down, but the government has more than enough power to make it happen if you buy the right congressmen.

This looks like someone tried to generate an automatic "5 Insightful" comment generator and failed miserably.

This argument might hold water if the other Saturn V rockets weren't also stored "out to rust in the sun" for decades before they were sheltered.

For the cost of that laser printer's replacement ink cartridge alone, I can get a quality color inkjet WITH a built-in scanner. While I might not need color prints(nice to have just in case), I'd make the case that a scanner is mandatory in any house.

How many of you use the problem solving skills that were developed in math class? I may not use math everyday, but I certainly solve complex problems that I'm sure others with less math education would struggle to solve.
