You guys sure are heavy on the "ignore" button, huh? I just don't get this idea of self-censorship...if you don't wanna debate, nobody is forcing you to log onto Peak Oil . com in the first place....LOL.
I'd just like to bring up a question, however. Exactly how does one define "earn"? Is it taking a gamble on something, hoping you'll get lucky? I could go to Las Vegas and put $10,000 down on 27 and win me $300,000 - is that earning wealth? I don't think so. Is playing the stock market gambling? I sure as heck think so.
How about all those business owners, you say? Yeah, and who does most of the work? The employees, of course. That is, if the biz owner can make a go of it in the first place, what with all the barriers to small biz they have. It's like our whole society is geared towards to favoring a select few while the rest of the people are forced to slave at hated jobs at substandard wages.
I'm going to pull an RE here, and do a little preaching with a gun here too: The system we have today is immoral, it's inhumane, it's killing the planet, it's why we have Peak Oil in the first place, and it just plain SUCKS. Our system is geared towards favoring a select few, while the rest of us continually gets the shaft at every turn. This idea that "anyone can get rich if they just try hard enough" is complete and utter bullshite...and it's high time that people realize this. The American Dream needs to be unveiled for the sham it really is, a cleverly designed scheme to get us working "for the man" in hopes that we can be rich too. Phuck that shite, man, I've had it up to here. I really, really hope that this new Depression followed by a 6.7% depletion rate crushes us all, as we most certainly deserve it as a species of animal. I tell you what, Mother Evolution sure did fuck things up when it came to homo sapiens...perhaps the time has come for Her to fix that little problem...hehe.
I think Karl Marx had it right - all roads will eventually lead to communism, as this capitalism crap just isn't working out too well for most of us. And thank the Good Lord God Jesus for Peak Oil, as that'll put an end to this madness soon enough. Like I said before, I'll not mind living in a mud shack if everyone else has to live that way too...LOL. It'd be okay if everyone could be rich, but that's clearly impossible due to resource constraints. So, if we all can't be rich, I say *nobody* has the right to be rich. And all this crap about the rich providing jobs, money, etc, etc, blah blah blah, I say poo to that too, as that's just a scam to tolerate being poor while the rich continue to rape us blind.
Anyhow, I really don't care how bad things are when it all comes crashing down - seeing those fat capitalistic pigs squealing in utter pain amid an orgy of utter destruction will all be worth it to me. What a show that will be!
Bring it on, I say, Bring. It. On.
