Peak Oil: Will Removing Bush, Inc. Change America? [View All]

[TennesseeWalker]

First off, I've thought a lot about America under President Bush. I'm a strong Al Gore supporter, and I mourned for him and for America when Florida was "settled". However, I really thought that things would be all right under Bush. I saw him as a bonny Prince, unsuited for ruling the Empire. Visions of a one-term, media-hobbled Presidency danced through my head, with very little change coming from a pampered legacy pledge with no mandate.

Well, after nearly four years of his reign,I admit I didn't have a clue as to what was really going on in America. I started reading about Peak Oil a couple of years ago, and it really makes all the dots connect.

I've heard Bush refer to himself as "America's CEO". I believe him when he says that. This country is being run just like a corporation that is about to fail. When a CEO knows there's trouble, he/she either merges his company with another, OR he/she crashes it and liquidates its assets.

Fast crashes are seen as better in the long run for failing companies. What's happening to the good old USA right now seems just like a controlled corporate collapse due to the World Oil Peak.

Some believe Peak Oil has already hit home, and we're now seeing the tip of the iceberg in a struggle for industrial nation survival. Check out a couple of links for a primer on Peak Oil:

Removing Bush alone won't save our idea of America. Jimmy Carter was the last president who tried to change the American People's lifestyle, and look what they did to him for his trouble. Does any democratic contender have what it takes to force this issue into the mainstream?

Regardless of political beliefs, this issue MUST be debated before things get any worse. America and other industrialized nations must change their ways or face an unthinkable fate. Many believe that fate is inescapble, including, I believe, the people currently in charge of America, Inc.

This should be a major debate topic in the USA, but it doesn't compare to the Jackson Family or Brittany Spears. It transcends party, affiliation, race, creed or family. Our leaders should be discussing this in the open, and we SHOULD be listening.
