All of the countries in OPEC exist at our whim.  Unless China and Russia 
merge and claim/protect the nations of OPEC, we need not worry.  Energy will 
only becom cheaper as demand recedes.  

I'm not arguing with your point. Most of the people I know produce no 
tangible goods.   

I'm simply saying that the adage that "he who owns the gold makes the rules" 
is not necessarily true; if, you have someone without gold who is capable 
,and, becomes willing, to take your gold ................bobford
