Eric:

Your highly lucid and intelligent response with regard to PREDATORY INDUSTRIAL CAPITALISM was right on the target! In fact, a bullseye!

The fact is in the year 2000, global oil production and reserves had finally reached the point of no return --- what is known as PEAK OIL. From here on out --- gasoline will get more and more expensive --- and it is also the reason why the neo-con imperialistic alpha male has almost exclusively come out of this nations' energy industry.

Gasoline is now $2.00 a gallon --- before this well needed change in our industrial capitalistic structure occurs --- expect gas prices of somewhere between $4.00 and $7.00 a gallon.

Finally, let us NEVER FORGET that all of this exists because of DE- regulation of the energy industry, the death of labor unions and the power they once wielded, and the various free-trade agreements that have helped to greatly lower the standard of living in the USA by replacing high-paying industrial jobs with low- paying jobs in the service sector --- specifically creating ever more RETAIL STORE workers and FAST FOOD workers.
