I have been looking at the post on Jim Rogers today.

Well, my observation is that China is buying up the world resources with American dollars.

The USA has taken possession of some oil reserves at high cost.

Oil reserves should not be underestimated though. As the links have pointed out oil = food these days.

I think the ousting of S&P CEO for telling the truth was a weak move.

The global chess game proceeds.

Canada should do OK. I may have to move there. -g-

BS, that's hordes of Olivers> <hoards of Olivers are joining the party... the disproportionate per capita consumption of resources by the West is under severe pressure.. Seems standards of living must be adjusted and I doubt the Olivers can attain the relative profligate levels of the West.. is there enough to go around .. I dunno.. but I doubt old methods and old expectations are viable here....

Elmat suggest for example in other posts that Canada could use another 100 million souls.. I do not know if this the answer either..

Consumption of resources is not the means to happiness. Roaring down a freeway at 100 mph in 2 tons of steel is not even close to Nirvana. Cerfing through Cyberspace is much better. Watch people. They are engaged when in Cyberspace and glassy eyed when droning along in a car.

Standards of living can be increased everywhere, while oil consumption declines. The more people there are, the more resources can be produced and at lower cost.

Doomsterism has always been a good sales line, but things have always got better with the fun having just begun. Cyberspace is going geometrically exponential into asymptotically hyperbolic parabola formation. If you want an equation to describe that function, it's a kind of 3 dimensional acceleration into Calabi Yau multidimensional everywhereness, backwards and forwards in time which comes to a stop.
