There are seminal events that irrevocably change the course of history and nation states. Americans can argue among themselves all they like but that doesn't change the reality of the situation. This particular "oil crisis" is shaping up to be one of those nation changing events. The America that we have known since the end of WW2 is going away. There is a shift of power taking place in the world. No longer will America be first among nations but will have slipped into the one among many powers that be. The effect on the people of this nation will be profound as suddenly the cherished lifestyle that has been so long taken for granted will vanish before our very eyes. Americans will have to start to learn to do with less gasoline, heating oil, electricity,natural gas, consumer goods, medical treatment, food, clean water and civil government (including pension funds). What they will be in for is more pollution, chaos and crowding as the scramble for resources to maintain a sembalnce of the former lifstyle becomes harder fought.In other words the Disneyland that America has represented economically since the end of WW2 is about to go bust. So Americans would be well advised to buy that sweater with their last dollar as Jimmy Carter advised so long ago.
