Reminding us of Toonces made my day.  Thank you, Daniel.

In the Chinese I Ching (The Book of Changes) the symbol for crisis also stands for opportunity.   A few questions involved might be (1) do we change and diversify our economy since oil is failing us? (2) what is going to change permanently? and (3) who is going to benefit/lose? 

This panic we're seeing in the legislature smacks of Disaster Capitalism, IMO.  Crises can be used to push through repressive and reactionary changes that ordinarily wouldn't see the light of day.  It is also reminiscent of how the panic over a few Arabs with box cutters brought us The War On Terror, The Patriot Act, Homeland Security and two to seven actual wars that nearly nothing to do with whatever happened on 9/11.

Oil is a Bad Investment.
