I am making predictions Message 28506771 re Romney per same protocol as used when i made predictions re Obama. The energy vectors you referred to adds some flavor to what should be, but I do not put much weight to the energy vectors in so far as they might change direction of nation states, and in many ways the energy vectors you re counting on make neo con enabled wars more, not less, likely. Between bush stupid evil and Romney devious and evil, bush was a better bet for benign outcome. Obama is stupid, and stupid is better than evil. Time may tell. Stupid may win. Should stupid lose, the forces of evil are stronger and therefore more worrisome.
