I think it is pretty clear that we live in a universe where there is a balance of forces that preclude any particular overwhelming forces. Any changes in the long-term balance tend to be temporary and subject to violent correction.

If we're talking human world, and power not yet fully exercised, then .. (drum roll) Humour. As the pin that pops pomposity, the arc that links often previously unassociated ideas, and the costume collection that allows us to edge all manner of ideas onto the minds stage, its one of the aces up free thinkers sleeves.

Okay, now it's time to bore everyone. Nobody seems to get the 'White Pussy' thing. It's genetics. More specifically, the evolutionary imperitive. It lies behind nationalism. It underlays culture. It is so basic that it is easily denied, to our peril.

Whitey has been blamed for so many bad things in the world. Whitey can be blamed because Whitey has power. Now, how does Whitey keep his identity? What is really most valuable to Whitey and, therefore, has the power to control Whitey's actions more than anything else?

White Pussy works two ways. It considers Whitey's fear of the world losing Whiteness and it also considers Whitey's propensity to do almost anything to please his woman.

But this power is not experienced by the majority of people.

I agree with.... karma.

Peak oil is all about our collective karma. We've brought this disaster on ourselves plain and simple. Tit for tat on a global scale.

Not only global scale karma, but personally, too.

Payback's a bitch.
