Glacierwolf-
There is absolutely nothing wrong with discussing long term solutions while a short term solution is on the table. The reason we're in the "crisis" we're in is because of a lot of shortsightedness. Anyone who knows anything about simple human nature will tell you that handing out debit cards is not really going to motivate people to look at the real problem.
That's fine... the masses can accept their card, use it, hopefully learn to make it benefit them more by conserving and the rest of us can look forward and try to find ways to avoid this situation in the future.

I think the problem with lies with personality and not potential penalties. Criminal thinking allows criminals to believe that they won't get caught... that they're smarter than the cops or luckier or more entitled than those who do. No matter how awful prison or jail time is, it is not a deterrent for people who think this way... simply because they believe they'll never have to serve it.
That being said, I am an advocate for stiffer and more applicable penalties for DUI offenders and more funding and training for police to prove that, yes, you will be caught.

Good idea hckywtchr, but that goes against the idea of public defenders. It'd be best if he pleads no contest and asks for no PD.

Nice plan-- making sure the money goes where it should. Does GVEA promise it will use the money it gets to lower our electric bills? How do we keep our utility companies honest?

Whoa ONAPA-
I think you are taking liberties there--- and I thought you were playing fair. I really try hard not to put a negative spin on others' posts and don't use them to promote my own agenda (other than trying to get others to think.) I would very much appreciate it if you did the same.
The conclusion you can draw (without making assumptions and twisting words) from my posts is alomst correct when you say:
"- Government selling our resources and spending the profits in the name of our collective best interest is the only way to solve a problem."
You may replace the last few words with: "is often the best way to solve a problem."
I won't engage in conversation with you if you continue to use word-twisting and logic leaping. If you are truly trying to understand my position, then ask questions instead of making statements about my post.
