Once upon a time, in an oval office far, far away, President Carter said,
“We are having an energy crisis.”
The people gathered around TV sets, turned the car radios up and said
“Alas, what shall we do?
There will not be enough gasoline to drive our cars!
There will not be enough fuel oil to heat our homes!
Alas, what shall we do?”
The talking heads on television, radio, cable and satellite said,
“President Carter scares you with these untruths!
Do not listen. Do not look for alternative fuels!
Do not lessen our dependence on foreign oils!
Do not drill in the U.S.”
President Carter, wearing a sweater as he sat in the chilly oval office, said,
“Verily I say unto you,
This indeed is true and each and every one of us can help get through the crisis.
We shall lower the speed limits on the highways.
We shall turn our thermostats down in the winter (thus the sweater)
And up in the summer.
We shall suffer, but it shall give us inspiration to solve our crisis!”
And then a thunderous roar was heard throughout the land.
And the Congress said,
“Yes, people, do your part. Suffer temperature discomforts,
Drive slower and arrive later.
And because you are doing all this
We shall do NOTHING to solve our crisis and it will go away!
Be angry with President Carter.
Ignore his silly predictions that our children will have this problem to deal with.
We shall all prosper, drive more and be toasty warm.”
And so it came to pass that what President Carter said was true.
We did not listen and the Congress did not listen.
Now, here we are, in a worse situation now than then.
Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away float the chilling scene
That no airwave will ever broadcast,
President Carter, wearing a sweater, saying
“I told you so.”
