Tobago Jack, <<< We are witnessing the system getting stronger, as in not weaker, starting with finger printing machines installations underway in some public libraries, and concurrently, the sheltering of obviously known terrorists by the administration.>>>
No, no, the “finger pointing machines,” the political manipulation, the financial house of cards, the charge over the cliff of the empire builders, etc. etc. are symptoms of fragility and rot. Not strength. The opposite of strength.
Tobago Jack, you didn’t answer my main point: China is trying to do now, one trillion barrels later, what we started doing 150 years ago.
China can be smart and deserving and hard working and up in the clear blue sky of the moral high ground, and it doesn’t make one bit of difference, because we got to the easy oil first and burned it.
I wish the damn stuff had never existed --- “excremento del diablo” somebody down in Venezuela calls it, and he’s right. But it did exist, and we burned it up, and China can’t go down the road we did, because we went down first and used up all the oil on our trip.
Hell, did you read the other day.... even the Iranians are saying that OPEC is max’d out.
Tell China we’re sorry, and not to get too bent out of shape; the trip wasn’t all that big a deal really, when you really get down to it. |
