Will be for some clever person to invent an energy source which is not oil based, or for the darn stuff to run out. I suggest we bone up on our agrarian skills and find and make sure we have generators than can run on non-petroleum based fuels. I know that's extreme, but I have always been one to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. It's hard these days.
Just to let you know how pervasive oil is to our everyday life,it's not just gasoline, it's just about everything you touch and use and wear that is not made from leather, cotton, wool or steel. It's basically not just the gas but the entire car it's everything made from plastic. It's pantyhose and Teflon and nylon and spandex and the list is endless!!
WE will never be out of the ME or treat their citizens with common decency(I don't think the PTB are capable of this, the American people are, but not those in control of the US and they are not the gov't)until we have squeezed every last drop of oil out of them. The Iraq play is an attempt to get it "for free" Hah, Hah, what a miserable failure that was! I wonder how strong our support of Israel will be when the oil runs dry? Isn't it amazing that in a short hundred years, the industrial age potentially could be the death of us all. The next big move will be to corner water resources.
The rest of the world is leaving us behind and in some respects, gladly so, I'm am sure they are sick to death of groveling up to us. The EURO was a stroke of genius. I hate to sound condescending, but what the hell is this country doing wasting it's time on all this religious crap?? It's like we are in self-destruct mode and those of us who don't agree are like lookyloos passing an awful crash who rear end the car in front! Taking power back in this country has never been more important.
