The liberals, with their push toward all things "green", are succeeding, little-by-little, to price most Americans right out of the market with respect to modern conveniences
In 1965, with regard to the war in Viet Nam, Air Force General Curtis LeMay was mistakenly quoted as saying that we should, "...bomb them (the North Vietnamese) back to the Stone Age." According to LeMay, he actually stated that the US had the capability to bomb the North Vietnamese back to the Stone Age. Regardless of its origins, the phrase, in one form or another, has become sort of a part of wartime vernacular and has been used by pro-war, anti-terrorist fanatics with regard to Afghanistan.
