Desperation

April 24, 2006

America commuted back into the unknown country of $3-plus
gasoline and $75-plus oil (per barrel) last week, and President Bush
revisted the Tomorrowland of hydrogen cars in the absence of any
reality-based response to the global energy crunch that will change
all the terms of America's "non-negotiable way of life."

Actually, we are negotiating, or bargaining, as Elizabeth
Kubler-Ross once put it in describing the sequence of emotional
reactions of humans facing certain death:

denial > bargaining > depression > acceptance



You forgot the "anger" phase. That's when we attack other countries to
get more oil.

Dana

Good point, but when it comes to the American people, I think the
anger will spill out at the polls. And when electing the other side
of the coin doesn't solve anything, it will be the streets.

You should visit JHK's blog. I think you'd enjoy it, Dana. Lots of
like-minded folks participate in the "comments" section.

David, cluster*** indeed
