4. The problem with this country is that every incident seems to spark
calls for structural change. We truly seem to think we have the right that nothing ever go wrong. Something happens and now we have to have big changes to prevent it from ever happening again, along with a sprinkling of it should not have happened this time either.

Shit happens. Sometimes it just happens.

Look at all the twisting we did over 911. Now this. Or, it gets used for an agenda that's already there.

There's nothing wrong with trying to get away from oil dependence, but that's a long term question not really changed by this particular incident. Even if we do get off oil, other shit will happen.
