I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

Good call BrazillianPO, saved me the trouble to bother.
However, in the northeast there is still PLENTY of room to increase sugar cane production (thats why that land was colonized in the first place) w/o affecting food supplies there.
Anyway, this is what you get when you give cars to everyone and their mother. Just put those miserable Asians back in their place and this fuel/food problem goes away.
Orientals reproduce like bunnies and we the white people of the West, cultural inheritors of Roman and Greek civilization, have to share our lifestyle with them? This has gotten way out of whack. Time for some reality check: cut off their food so their people/lebensraum ratio goes down to more western levels and we might talk about compromising a few things.

I think 35Kas was being sarcastic, right? At least I hope so...
Matt Simmons had one funny tirade over China in an interview a few weeks ago, something like "We should had never let China grow like that". The interviewers did not know if he was serious or not, and the reactions were like "What????". _________________ Omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis

I'm not a Nazi.
Try and spot the sarcasm. But you have to concede that my attempt at black humor has bearing with reality... overpopulation and increasing affluence for the once miserable are some of the primary causes of our problems. You may think this is a bit extreme but normal people really think like that, they don't care for the plight of those people so long as they can live comfortably.
When it comes down to the normal people having to explicitly make that choice, you will see a flight to extremist attitudes, and a canary for that is the anti-Mexican feelings in the USA brewing ever stronger.
