Societal Pop!

[Javaman]

Something occurred to me this weekend and it had to do with crashcarts comment regarding the American way of life being non-negotiable.

Morons*/crashcarts policy of invading countries for their oil just so the morons in this nation can continue to drive their escalades will continue for a long time. Why you ask?

Currently the oil giants get boo-koo(sp) amounts of money in subsidies to keep the price of gas at the pump..."low".

Suppose as the price of oil continues it's upward climb, that moron*/crashcart continue with their sycophantic preoccupation of sexually pleasuring the oil execs with more and more subsidies until a point where: 1) there is no more oil and 2) (something far more frightening for society as a whole) they can no longer afford the subsidies, thus allowing the economy, the "non-negotiable" american way of life to go...POP!

We are living in the worse of all bubbles. The bubble of un-sustainability.

Housing bubble, stock market bubble, student loan bubble, deficit bubble, etc will all be fond memories when the oil bubble/american way of life bubble explodes. There will be no popping for this one. It would be more like the Hindenburg exploding and crashing to the ground. Oh the humanity!

As extreme an image that is, it would only be a part of it.

Since there is really no way to accurately describe how the U.S. and the world will be effected when we have the final downward spiral of downside oil, it's basically only a theory, but a theory that is based in reality, when you consider that everything we do in this country is based upon fossil fuel.

Our food, our clothing, our transportation, our jobs, our sanitation, our families, our entertainment, our medicine, etc. It's all oil based.

Want to see what our society will be like post oil? (I mean all gone, or way to expensive to afford) Read up on what america was like in roughly 1850. Then mix in a little 1930's then top it off with a dash of Sarajevo 1998.

Oh and don't forget to give it a heavy dusting of famine and disease.

I don't see the government of the U.S., in it's current form, ever stopping the oil giants gravy train. I see them being the ever apologizing child to the abusive father.

Prices will creep up, but not at the level that they should, then one day, poof! the dream is over.

Getting used to 3 dollar gas yet? I have and boy am I having fun. Excuse me while I adjust my blinders. Myopia is just the cure for this nation.
