$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Eli', 'I')t is always weird to watch these things unfold, especially after talking about this very scenario for years.
Food riots, oil spikes, financial collapse and then as we know war.
I feel weird too. It is like being among the crew of the film "das Boot" when their submarine was bombed at Gibraltar and going down. The chief engineer has to report to the captain that the boat is sinking and that he can't do anything more about it. All they can do is to watch the depth gauge climb and to listen for the creaking of metal and the bolts breaking.
We talked about this for years now yet i must rub my eyes and still can't believe that the world is actually entering an new, possibly cruel era.
The mouse, i`ve been sure for years, limps home from the site of the burning ferris wheel with a brand new, airtight plan for killing the cat.
