What we've seen since the 1973 oil crisis has been disgusting. Only lip service has been paid to solving the threat to our security that dependence on foreign sources of energy has become. Republicans in Congress, like Joe "BP, I apologize" Barton, John "Drill baby, Drill!" McCain, and Trent Franks(R-AZ), have made our country more dependent on foreign sources of oil than ever before.

The simple fact is, we can't drill our way out of this problem. We need leaders who will fight for the future- help to establish an economy where American companies and American-made products provide jobs for us.

3. Phoenix is polluted, the rest of AZ is not

I also live on the far East side of the Valley.

Being a valley, and there being barely any wind makes things worse. I would not live downtown, which is by the way deserted by most white folks, who live on the outskirts.

4. Well, if they're in the top 1%, Dubai. nt
