Death to the oillah-based economy!!!

Really? What part do you plan to give up? Your car? Your electricity? Your heating and air conditioning?

You might make a small start by giving up the computer in front of you, which is made from petroleum (plastic).

Fine. You like life on the plantation. But I don't want to hear any whining, then, about mean old mohammedanism because we who support the oil economy support the spread of mohammedanism. Money is fungible and oil is the coin of the realm.

Every time we fill up our SUV we put another weapon in the hands of a holy warrior. We buy the food that nourishes the stone thrower in shariah Nigeria. We buy the scimitar that lops off the foot of an escaping slave in the Sudan. We buy the boots that the "freedom fighter" in Kosovo is wearing as he kicks the Othodox nun he has just finised raping.

So don't worry. Be happy. Your forehead is down on the ground and your little hiney is sticking up in the air right next to John Muhammed's.

Allah is safe in his status quo heaven and all's right with the world.....

If I may speak for La Dame:
we don't have to give up the oil-based economy: we just have to give up our reliance on ME oil. That means

1. Drilling right here in USA...and I mean everywhere...not just in Alaska, but in Ohio as well.

2. Buying more (at higher price, perhaps) from Mexico and Russia

3. Using technology to use Coal and Natural Gas to supply the same ingredients

4. Going Nuclear in a big way.

However, the most cost-efficient would really be the following: lay waste to Riyadh, Mecca and declare Arabia an American colony.
(I am not being sarcastic; I fully support this last...much more than I support a costly war against Iraq with uncertain outcome)
