pure water. oil. wheat. vast, vast resources. polar ice cap. hidden oil in artic islands and tar sands. more than all the world. northwest passage. electric power. wood. metals. secrets to abatement of air effluent. pipeline right of way.

you know we've got it. do you want to pay the price or steal it? nobody wants to pay too high a price. but we saw the US tactics in south america and the middle east for oil, rubber and fruit. do we get this? intimidation for what the US is desperately running out of? (not to mention the world.)

we are running out of everything. water. fish to swim in it. wood. earth to grow plants. clean air. gasoline. It will all end. do the math. all resources are finite, it would appear that consumption through reproduction of consumers will overtake supply. it will all run out. we are doing nothing about it. in the end the only way to control it is to raise the price and seek subtitutes and conserve. reduce population. We must do this. or die. all civilizations died conserving desperately. man may die in the same way at some future time. the time to think about it is now. the time to do is when we know what to do. so it is imperative to seek solutions now.

we must do this or as einstein pointed out the final war we fight will be with sticks and stones. and this will be over a dirty cup of water that will probably kill us anyway.
