Very nice! However, I have to say that we are in a resource war and have been for some time now. You also had mentioned that we are standing at the top of the cliff, but I believe we have already fallen off that cliff...it is just a matter of how hard the landing will be? History does not necessarily repeat itself, but it does rhyme . If we look at WW I, especially the events that led to WW I, there are similarities to what is happening in the world today. WW I was about territory and resources due to the fact that all the major countries were industrializing which led to extreme Nationalism and Militarism. Same as today, but the difference is that all the industrialized countries today are fighting over the scraps left behind from the last 110 years of over indulgence and trying to maintain the lavish life style that most western democracies have enjoyed. Major governments feed us propaganda about how we can keep going on like this with out severe consequences. Reality will hit and the next few generations will look back at us and wonder...what in the world were they thinking?
