Thank you for proving my point that, "meaningless" was not a statement made about the US. "Samso has a population of just over 4000, and a total area of 44 sq miles ( en.wikipedia.org ), its a pretty meaningless example for a country of 300+ million, and an area of almost 3.8 million sq miles." What was meaningless about? "Its a pretty meaningless", what is it? Samso. By while inadvertently proving one point correct, you ignored the other two. 1 - And even if it was (about the US), lots of things will be meaningless to the greatest superpower on Earth, so pointing out that this is what the US is, is not an argument for much of anything. 2 - As for the economic health of the US, and productive useful jobs, etc., trying to emulate Samso would be harmful, not helpful. You're addicted to oil. No addiction, rational action based on the realty of the world. The fact that 4,000 isolated Danes made huge strides to get off oil in just 10 years exposes exposes nothing, other than the fact that a strong majority of those 4000 were passionate enough about the issue, to make relatively useless sacrifices so that they could say they are oil free. It does not show that a nation of 300+ million could do the same at a reasonable cost, and it doesn't provide any real major benefit to even Samso. You'd rather spend trillions subjugating other countries Now your going off the deep end.
