I also agree 100%. Things will not go back to the way they were. My feeling is that 2008 (maybe starting late 2007) will be recorded in history books as the beginning of the end for many things and the beginning of the beginning for many other things.

We Americans, and most other developed nations of the world, have been coasting along on the "same ole, same ole" too long. Even 9/11, as evil and as diabolical as it was, did not change society anywhere near what the events of current affairs (energy/housing/banking) are going to.

Most of our transportation infrastructure will rapidly change, beginning with the auto and airline industries. Our attitudes toward many things has also changed as a whole and our confidence in Congress, already at an astounding 15%(?) approval rating was not reinforced by watching them helplessly flap around in the wind while the American consumer was under the gun.

These next two years will be interesting...

If we can just convince those aliens - that the Apollo 14 astronaut claims are watching us - to let us in on the energy secrets...
