Topic for Unit 2

Energy independence was the issue I chose to write about for unit 2. How I broke down the large issue of energy independence was into three categories of energy conservation, alternating energy sources, and conventional energy sources. Energy companies and the government obviously have experience with the issue of energy independence. More specifically Boone Picken's and his plan to bring America energy independence, also both candidates have plans of energy independence. Boone Picken's, John McCain, and Barack Obama are probably the loudest voices in energy independence, Al Gore is kinda there but he is much more focused on the health of the environment. The primary sources I would use to research this topic would be credible news sources, government data on the U.S. energy consumption and levels of energy dependence. Also any information from energy companies on this issue, I will have to look out for energy companies bias's who only want to promote there section of the energy sector.

My Humorous Argument

My humorous argument is about the Bush Doctrine. It's obviously exaggerated but the point of the cartoon is to point out how many different other countries the U.S. could have "legitimately" invaded under the Bush Doctrine.




Author's Note: Does the cartoon make sense right away? I tried to use the least amount of words as possible and hope that the picture tells most of the story. Is it all funny or humorous?
