A very revealing video of the oil/dollar architecture, thanks
So we are so dependent on it that any attempt to reform, modify or reduce our relation to it only hurts us....what a dilemma!
So this is just business as usual and we should just move on....
Bring on the innovation, the magnetic motors, the artificial photosynthesis vehicles, the hydrogen and electric, Tesla's aether energy! Granted these things take oil to produce but it begins to minimize our dependance, no?
Peace

If you are already as a dead man, death has no meaning to you, you will fight with the intensity of 10 or even 20 men. US citizens have more small arms than the military.
The war, if and when it arrives, will be hard street fighting.
They will not bomb out all their own infrastructure. Many areas will be desolated, but many will also remain as they attempt to conquer them with as little collateral damage as possible.
We have nothing to lose.
They already have our lives.

Plus from what I see everyday in America is many fat and overweight lazy people! How can these people fight??? I bet they never fire any weapon and the parents give them everything. I would not want a person such as this on the same side as me because i'll be dead just like them.
Goodluck

I take it you are not in the US. The world media always chooses photos of obese americans when doing any sort of piece. You would be wrong though to think that the majority of people are fat and lazy. I welcome this view the world has of our people. When a people is vastly underestimated, they more easily succeed.

err actually I attend University in America and see this garbage all the time. Just today even on a visit to the supermart, lots of fat people man especially the women. Perhaps it's different in other parts of the USA with no winters where people can exercise. Around here you see very little of that just people driving cars, instead of walking. Dairy Queen was packed today (95F still though this a cool day in Kuwait) I would never associate with Dairy Queen because Warren Buffet has a stake in it and helped ruin the economy. I speak the truth only about 1/5 of the people around here are in fighting shape.
