A realy great article to understand US dollar hegemony in relation to peak oil.

http://www.engdahl.oilgeopolitics.net/1 ... ystem.html

In my opinion, the carpet needs to be yanked from America...
Enough is enough...

The average World citizen needs to stop subsidizing the US consumer, yank the carpet now... and in doing so, save humanity from peak oil... and in doing so create change and end exponential growth.

How many more years must America grow like cancer?
How many more years must America get fat, get bigger asses?

Great scott !!!! since when is FAT so pretty?

All this hegemony, not for some good, but for America's growth.

When you go to the doctor and learn you have a tumor, then you take a knife and you cut it out. Like yanking the carpet from America, running from the dollar would save us from peak oil. Somehow the peasant in the forest needs to be educated, dump the dollar, switch to gold or Ruble or Yuan, or Euro...

This dollar hegemony is the biggest con job, the bigest jig, and the biggest ponsie scem of all time... Keneth Lay would be proud...

Pstarr,

Well, I forgot, between steroids, and antibiotics, maybe the reason Americans need an SUV to hual around thier fat azzes... Fork lifts and semis might help as well...

All kidding aside... Most people in Europe and certainly the former Soveit Union, China, India, and South America must walk to the bus station...

But FAT is nice, right? I mean, aren't you more impressed by a 300 bld American woman than a 115 bld Russian photo model?

Ahhhh... The Russian super model has no H1 or H2 Hummer.

If all the fat of all the overweight human beings in this world could be extracted and collected in a tank it would look like this:

Why does America deserve all the blame?

Does your (presumably) angelic country use oil?

My pic was not specific of the fat that accumulates in North America. I am a German poster and belive me, to eat a lot of 'Schwein' makes people there just as fat.

I wish I would have gotten in on early on the "che guevera bubble." I could have made a killing off t-shirts, posters, stickers.

The revolution will be mass merchandised!

As the sole remaining superpower America is in for its share of rhubarbs.

She is not alone, however.

I hate to ruin your party, but I would like to remind you revelers that ALL of Western Civilization is in the same boat, indeed all of Civilization period.

So you may very well laugh. You may indeed.

But you won't be laughing for long..

Because folks, you will be right behind us.
May I remind you that YOU cooperated in creating the mess we find ourselves in. YOUR economies are also highly dependent upon oil.

You are no saints.

It may provide temporary comfort to scapegoat one country to absolve yourselves of blame, but you will suffer right alongside us.

We are all in this together, like it or not.

Are you inferring that a dollar collapse will get rid of one hindrance to development of new strategies and technologies? If so, meet the new boss. He's the same as the old boss.

I was addressing my remarks to those outside the U.S. who dream of seeing the U.S. crash and burn thereby screwing themselves. And yes, there are some in this country who share those attitudes. I understand why people feel as they do towards this country; Some of it is justified, but some need to climb off their high horses and put their own houses in order before pointing fingers.

The American leaders and people have made mistakes that have contributed to this problem, but we are hardly alone (although some like to leave that impression).

I share your concern. When many males are right around the age of 15 they go through a brief period where war seems fun. You might call it the "kick-ass stage". Well our leaders right now never grew out of it. These are the type of people who think "hunting" caged birds while getting drunk is sport. They send others to do their killing for them, but passed on their own chance to sacrifice.

I wish there was some way to cut out this cancer and save the patient, but the apathy you spoke of appears to have taken root. Our founding principles are being forgotten. Too many have been seduced into thinking the ends justify the means.

I still have some hope that we can salvage something of what Bush has wrought. I think the next Presidential election will see the rise of a major third party candidate. I don't know who it will be, but the door is wide open. As you mentioned, the Democrats are not a credible alternative to this bunch.

Jellric,

You said "I was addressing my remarks to those outside the U.S. who dream of seeing the U.S. crash and burn thereby screwing themselves."

honestly, people in the US or outside that want to see America crash and burn, it's not that we want it, but the sooner it happens the healthy everyone will be...

20 years ago when I first started getting credit cards and other debt, eventualy, I couldn't get more, even if I make my payments on time... This forced me to change and become lean and mean...

I think few want America to crash... But most want America to be responsible. And maybe a good crash is needed... and I'll bet the word will be just fine after that... I don't think American markets are as important if the producer nations need to keep it floating with laons, what's the point?

It would be better to loan that money other nations who are responsible and pudent with thier finaces and consumption.

Let the whole American economy crash... if you look at trading between other nations, the US is fast becoming secondary...

How long do we skin the cats and feed the skins to the young cats? How long can this perpetual motion go on? One day, America needs to join the world community and give as much as she takes, and dollars ain't what I'm talking about...
