China now determines oil demand, and the U.S. has no long-term way to influence prices. That means $4 a gallon by next spring, and rising – $5, then $6, probably $10 by 2010 or thereabouts.

Does anyone out there want to bet me that gas prices are going to be $4.00 a gallon next spring here in the United States, I say they won't...anyone...anyone, Bueller?

Remember, we're not talking about the far future. We're talking about the next decade.

No country gets two centuries anymore. The 21st will be China's century. That's what $4-plus a gallon means, and nothing can stop it. So: How will we change? But the question "How will we change?" is really the question "How will I change?" Because history isn't a spectator sport. It's you and me. Everything depends on whether we side with reality or illusion. Face reality, and we have a chance. Cling to illusion, and we are lost. The America we've known is over – very soon. The America we can create is up to us.

They did a great show about the people who believe this crap last night on Southpark--the main advocate saying that the sky was falling was on a fake espsode of the O'Reilly Factor--the elderly, pony-tailed charactor's name was 'Aging Hippie Liberal Douche' \:D --the Southpark kids even started to believe that he had the answers and before they smartened up and realized, "dude, this is pretty gay" they made up a cute little song to help save the evironment...the chorus was something like , 'So ya' better Recycle that Can and Plant a Tree--because saving the Earth is up to you and me' \:D

...I think I'll go buy a Yugo, Scion, or Prius tomorrow and help do my part.
