From something I read the other day (as if you needed to be reminded):
The United States consumes about 21 million barrels of petroleum every day. About 85 million barrels a day is produced in the entire world. The US thus consumes about a fourth of the supply, even though it has only 5 percent of the world's population.
Weren't we born lucky? Don't you feel good about our lifestyle? I know I do! We're the greatest country there is, ever was, or ever possibly could be. We DESERVE that oil, goddammit!! What's more, we NEED that oil. How else are we going to show the rest of the world how great democracy n' stuff is? If all the other countries consumed 5 times their carrying capacity, wouldn't this planet be a much better place? I mean, c'mon, think about it....

it's great when you see the mormons in guatemala or something. all the natives want to say yes to the american way, even when sold by a boy with a pocket protector. the mormons are selling their new gods, but the locals think they will get new cars and tv's out of their deal with the later day scents!
