I see the high gas prices as a sign America lost the war in Iraq
Machiavelli:
the problem is basic economics...supply and demand.
Our retarded government doesn't let us make nuclear power plants or more oil refineries and if we do it will takes years to get all the shit passed. The problem is to much big government and regulation.

I haven't read the whole thread yet, but word. Dude said it right there ^ economics. Government foreign policy decisions are not only based around a socio-cultural or political context, theres demand to think about. Its funny when Marxist theory really does begin to describe the world. It happens. Supply and demand baby. Theres a market for everything. They got the oil. Governments specialise in politics. Corporations specialise in the world economy. Thats the difference. Its amazing when you study history how you begin to see how much more simplier and unified our world is.
Dosn't mean there isn't
many rivers to trrrraaaaavel.

Oil is denominated in dollars, the dollar keeps sinking and so therefore forcing many people to invest in commodities as a hedge against inflation. You don't seem to appreciate what I am getting at, it's in the interest of the elite business men to drive down an economy once they have many chained into the credit trap because this drives down the value of businesses and in doing so, allows for massive sectors of the economy to be snapped up. You have to look beyond the immediate impact and see the advantages to be had, how situations can be exploited.

Eye do dude, i appreciate fully yo insight into everything. I also see that people will survive. As I see it, because we are facing an amazing transition of our form of energy dependency, we have the opportunity to embrace self reliance; self sufficient and enviromentally harmonious communities. The ultimate dream of individualistic liberalism in an inter-related age of globalism! Of course the dangers are as present as they have always been. Especially here in Australia people can no longer afford their loans and there is a housing shortage because nobody wants to build, because interest rates are too high, etc, etc. But people will survive we are on a the verge of great changes in the world. People have shifted from economic arrangement to the next over and over drasticly all throughout history. Something, ive always been about... is a belief that people can infact live fulfilling lives regardless of the Leviathan form. The Serpent of Order has been in many different forms, our age is no different. But not everybody is tied down by interest rates or even fuel to run the course of their daily lives. And the ones that do, well thats market volatility, sorry. Alot of people are not chained into the credit cycle. There will be less traditional family units in later generations because people will be more and more career orientated. For native families in the West the financial responsibilites have been getting more taxing. Thats where immigration and infastructure comes in as is what the world market does, the US is also a nation drifting on the sea of the world market, buffeting around its inertia moving over states with it. The US buys oil and is dependent on oil the same as any other states, you know that they pay market price for that shit aswell! We have enough people committed, enough nations, enough industry, its cold hard reality that it will roll on regardless of the West's situation. World Governence through the flow of capital. Ain't new buts ever emerging from it's egg. What dreams may come. The market will recover, we are just going through a great transition from one form of energy to the other. The market will eventually, by our following at first or not will change to a different form of energy dependence. For it must always continue even through destruction and heights of glory and human acheivement in all its intrinsic marvel.
We are primal in our consumption.
