and the interesting thing is the level of reliance that the u.s. economy has manged to build upon cheap energy. ive heard that if oil prices double, that could completely destroy the u.s. economy and make the u.s. so vulnerable.

the question stands, do we accept what we deserve from out own indulgences as our ability to consume is only perpetuated by the imposed and u.s. foreign policy supported cheap labor and resource situations of poor nations, if the people of these poor nations actually earned what u.s. citizens demanded forthemselves, we couldnt afford to buy a car or a pair of sneakers more than once a year at best.

oh and theres also that whole "borrowing" our entire national budget from the same relative enitites that import, apportion, advertise and sell us our goods from european industrialists, the same ones that OWN the federal reserve corp.

but im not being cynical... sorry, yes i am

peace
