Stephen Leeb was just now on CNN basically saying "If we don't start taking energy seriously, I fear for our future." It was great. Along with the above quote, he felt it necessary to point out:

-To get the rest of the world half way to our level of industrialization, it would take another 200 million bpd and that was not possible.

-Russia has admitted and Saudi Arabia has tacitly admitted that they are both incapable of increasing production to meet global demand.

-Our next "great oil hopes" lie 30,000 feet below the surface

It was fun to watch, right up until he said quote:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')obody has to die.

True enough.

I was always found the best way to manipulate people is to provide just enough information to make them think that they came to the conclusion all by themselves. No matter how stupid people actually are, they like to think they are smart. So if you can appeal to their vanity and when they start to mention some of the more negative aspects of what they have concluded from what they have told you, all you need to do is to say "oh wow, ya maybe I guess you might have a point there"

Of course, I tend to fail in this due to my own nature of not being able to keep my mouth shut and I just keep talking and talking until people like I am a nut job.

I don't know, jay, if he was trying to manipulate people. I don't think so. I think he was trying to distance himself from the clear implications of what he was saying. It's too scary. We seem to be witnessing a hesitant recognition, very hesitant, of just how screwed we are. I'll make the prediction here, again, that I've been making for four years: America will go hyper military before this is over.
