Re: Countdown to $200 oil (none / 0)

Hummers will soon be irrelevant. As will the Prius.

Natural selection will determine whether those who see the value of guns as tools or those who eschew them have better odds of survival.

Re: Countdown to $200 oil (4.00 / 2)

Natural selection will determine whether societies where people feel they're in it together or those where people feel they need to arm to defend from each other have better odds of survival.

When the capital development of a country becomes a by-product of the activities of a casino, the job is likely to be ill-done. — John M. Keynes

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
