Fine. You like life on the plantation. But I don't want to hear any whining, then, about mean old mohammedanism because we who support the oil economy support the spread of mohammedanism. Money is fungible and oil is the coin of the realm.

You didn't answer my question. What part of the petroleum-based economy are YOU giving up? I see you're still using that petroleum-based computer....built and powered by petroleum-generated electricity....

We went from exploding rockets on the ground, to landing a man on the moon in one decade. We went from having a military smaller and more ill-equipped than Bulgaria's to a collosus bestriding the globe and vanquishing two of the most advanced military empires in history in less than one decade.

I say we challenge ourselves to a crusade to free ourselves of oillah in one decade--and the developing world too, whose main cause of crippling debt is dependence upon OIL (and who therefore rely upon American taxpayers to foot the bill when the debt they cannot pay is forgiven).

Allah will be collateral damage on the road-side of economic history....
