Provided the majority of people that are not in a position to feed themselves don't go ape shait...which might just happen. The fact still remains that in the United States we have enough natural resources to provide our country with energy for at least the next 100 years. |

girlie45 User ID: 10865946 United States 09/03/2013 11:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Dear Leader has Decided to pause – briefly – for a perfunctory congressional approval before triggering what could be TEOTWAWKI – the end of the world as we know it – by lobbing bombs at Syria. Which will likely result in Syria (and perhaps Iran, allied with Syria) lobbing bombs at Israel, the proxy poodle (or is it the reverse?) of the United State (“s” left off in the interests of accuracy). Whereupon the entire region – then the world – may well go up in flames. At least, until it runs out of oil. Quoting: .Kaos It is shit statue-carving crazy. Yet, “we” – meaning, they – Dear Leader and his relative handful of minions who control the missiles, the ships and “the troops” – appear determined to pursue this course nonetheless. Despite the obvious implications – and in spite of the equally obvious horn o’ plenty of reasons not to do it. Wait. Check that. There is a reason – several of them, actually. Just not the ones publicly stated. No one but a madman could entertain the idea of deliberately batting at a hornet’s nest that one could just as easily walk around. What goes on inside Syria may be tragic, but it’s not our tragedy. We – that is, the Dear Leader, et al, – are neither wanted nor requested – and have about as much right to lob bombs at the Syrian government over its alleged abuse of its people as Syria has to lob bombs at America over its government’s abuses of its people – none of them mere assertions based on iffy “intel” but admitted to, openly, by its government. For instance, rendition. And torture as state policy. Indefinite detention. And that’s only the recent stuff. Let’s not forget who helped “Saddam” gas Iranians back in the ’80s. Or helped violently depose the “democratically” elected leader of Iran – ushering in the Shah and his Savak. “We” are in no position to lecture anyone about “human rights.” Much less bomb them over it. Besides which, it would serve no purpose other than to cause the people over there – aka, the “evildoers” – to hate us even more. Not because of “our freedoms” (those being long gone) but for the simple, obvious reason that this country is an arrogant, know-nothing bully with big biceps and a very, very small brain. Unless the shit statue-carving madmen in charge aren’t nuts – and have a different purpose in mind. Perhaps that purpose is $10 gas. They know perfectly well this is the likely result of “intervening” in Syria. And what it would mean. A catastrophe, economic and human.A political debacle, too – assuming they will ever have to account to the electorate, whom they clearly hold in increasingly obvious contempt. Yet, they champ at the bit. One cannot make sense of it – unless one views it from their perspective. Because it would achieve, at a stroke, everything they have been trying to implement, piecemeal, and with only mixed results, for decades (if not longer). It would render 95 percent of the population destitute, dependent, freaked-out scared – and most of all, immobile – within a matter of days.The populace would be ready, then. One must never forget the advice of that latter-day Machiavelli, Rahm Emanuel: You never want to let a crisis got to waste. [link to ericpetersautos.com] I will ride a bike.

But the world economy will fold up like a cheap tent...

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18226170 United States 09/03/2013 11:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To all the people saying "I walk, ride a bike, work from home, etc": Just how do you think goods are transported to the stores? When the cost nearly triples for a delivery truck to deliver food to your local grocery store, what do you think that owner will do to offset the high delivery cost? This will not only affect grocery stores, but every retail store that has their goods delivered. This is not just about it costing more to fill your own personal vehicle's tank, its about what will happen to the cost of everything. I highly doubt that our wages will go up accordingly. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20589235 United States 09/03/2013 11:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We survived a near QUADRUPLING of gasoline prices in the fall of 1973 ... we could and WILL survive gasoline going up to $10/gallon (that is less than a tripling). Back in 1973 people: A) Drove less B) Car pooled C) Saved up errands so could do several during one trip D) Bought more efficient vehicles YEP ... it will throw us into a serious recession AND inflation caused by the price increase pass through will work it's way through the system over about 2 to 3 years, but it is NOT the end of the world. We in the US have been through that kind of dynamic before (a sudden increase in oil/gas prices on the order of 3x -4x) and SURVIVED with our economy intact. |
