It appears, Gene, that the only acceptable answer to the 'question' is a 
based on a belief that if only evil, evil Bush were not in the White House, 
then 
there would be plenty of gas for everyone, we coudl keep on selling huge 
cavernous houses forever, and when in a very few years the retiring baby 
boomers 
outnumber those entering the workforce by 30 million, we can just keep 
writing SS 
checks.

That is, what's the solution to us continuing to live in overly large 
houses,. commuting hundreds of miles, and expecting the rest of the world to 
supports 
us for a third of our lifetimes.

What I am saying is that there isn't an answer to that.  

That's why my answers don't make any sense to you.  You are convinced that 
there HAS to be a way we can keep living in the opulent manner we have 
adopted 
for the past three or four decades.  What's the basis for believing that 
other 
than just wanting it to be true and unable to face the alternatives.
