#9  I realize that grammatically, Dominance would not normally appear with a capital D in my comment. However, I simply just preferred it to be...

So sue me, AG Holder, you life-long racist rabble-rousing pos.

#8  Dominance. What a powerful word that is, in a 2012 world that is spinning out of control.
Dominance is a word, a concept, or even better yet; an ideal that projects power and might. We as a Nation need to decide that a shared sense of Dominance is what we need to survive.

#7  "Peak Rareearth: = "Peak Oil-Gas" = PEAK ANYTHING = ITS NOT GOING TO MATTER IFF OUR FUTURE OWG = SPACE GOVT-ORDER DOESN'T DO THE PROPER "GLOBAL/GLOBALIST" THING + ACCURATELY DETERMINE AVAILABLE, FUTURE RESOURCES ON A PLANETARY = GAIEAN SCALE.

#5  Quit building wind farms and protecting China with American dollars and jobs. One wind mill would build a lot of military hardware and or computers.

#4   Yes, we're all too happy to let the Chinese do the polluting.

I love pointing that out to people that "Buy Volts to save the planet!"

You know, the batteries and rare earth compounds used are highly toxic and poisoning China and its people. They get such an deer in the headlights look.

#3  Yes, we're all too happy to let the Chinese do the polluting. Problem is, you can't count on pollution to stay in the place where it was generated.

#2  The 'insecurity' with rare earths (necessary for all sorts of high tech stuff) is not that China is the only place they are found, but that we don't mine them ourselves due to pollution regulations.

#1  We don't need to 'secure' resources; this isn't the 19th century. We just need access and an economy that can generate dollars to buy resources. We have a Navy to maintain the SLOCs.

We don't need to own the resources, just to buy them.
