Amos said, "The ONLY thing, aside from a wealth of natural resouece, which has given this country any claim to ascendancy among nations has been its assertion that individual freedoms are paramount. As long as we walk that talk, we can survive anything."

My question is this:

What happens to individual freedoms when the wealth of natural resources is exhausted?

I think that is what is happening now. Could it be that Bush truly believes that he is trying to provide for his people?

Seems to me that the quest for world domination is driven by personal greed but that in order for it to have any real power, it must be sanctioned by a nation hungry for the natural resources of other nations. In this case, personal freedom becomes secondary.

Until U.S. consumption decreases, those who are elected will continue to plunder for the sake of their own.
