why sell all the oil. why not keep it and use it to improve your society? USA loves their oil burners and their whole world is built up on autos and so forth. Did Mohammed say anything bad about mechanical devices or something? The arabs used to be real advanced technology. What happened?

Can you imagine if America and Canada just said, "You know, we are so close as it is and do so much business together why don't we just save ourselves the trouble and become one country." And then we did. What would that be like? The two countries would metamorphisies into something bigger, and become extremly, extremly powerful and huge. Politically and economicly how would that be?

Our planet is set up for total economic collapse, all that's needed is the catalyst event. About a year after the catalyst, every economy on the planet will have completely collapsed upon itself. I am wanting to know what that catalyst event will be.

we should be able to work from home. This would save energy. We should start to think in terms of how much enegy it takes to get things done instead of how much it costs.

A few months back, the final page of Vogue magazine (which usually features some "in" product) featured a pair of ladies' high-heeled shoes that sell for over $9,000 a pair. And no, they were not made of unicorn hide or encrusted with diamonds, nor had they once belonged to Marie Antoinette. It was just plain old leather on a shoe not significantly different from any other pair of platform heels. I was astounded, especially since that one pair of shoes cost more than what I earn in half a year.

How does the fashion industry get away with selling such over-priced goods? What kind of person would buy something for such a ridiculously exaggerated price? I personally would have a very hard time spending even $90 on a pair of shoes, even if I were wealthy, not to mention $900 or, God forbid, $9,000. What's the most you've ever spent on a pair of shoes?
