And we're about to slide into a recession thanks to the housing bust.

I hated the Moroccans with a passion. Most were lazy and arrogant to the extreme. The Ethiopian blacks remind me of the Indians or Yemenites in Israel. Beautiful people, with beautiful noble souls. Hard working, eager to learn and improve themselves. We shouldn’t group Africans into one group.

I've been thinking about it for awhile, and I'm starting to believe that we really have passed "Peak" Oil.<BR/><BR/>If I'm correct the price of oil/gasoline will "explode" in the next year, or so. <BR/><BR/>Crude oil "production" was 85 million barrels/day in 05'. Today, it's 84 mbpd. Mexico saw the production at it's big Cantarel field go down 1/2 million bpd in 06'. Kuwait lost a similar amount. Venezuela is steadily dropping, as is Iran. So is Indonesia.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, China, and India with 1/3 of the world's population are undergoing "explosive" growth (11% in China, 9% in India.) All of Asia, and Eastern Europe is growing their economies rapidly.<BR/><BR/>All tolled, world energy use is expected to increase approx. 1.6%/yr. for the foreseeable future. To make it worse, most all of the Governments in Asia (China, India, Indonesia, etc) "subsidize" the cost of Petrol; thus they are not as Price <I>sensitive</I> as they would otherwise be.<BR/><BR/>You think Africa's on the wrong slope, now, wait till oil hits 150 barrel. It could get ugly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
