I see what you mean, but frankly I've never regarded capitalism as "honest".. I mean yes, if we look at it and treat it like dogma, yes, but human nature gets in the way, turning it into probably the vilest form of exploitation of the weaker.

Again government can control capitalism. Government has the power in the country it controls. Capitalism is not government and only has abilities for whatever it does as allowed by governments.

The media and all the government persuasions for manipulating it's people point at concepts like capitalism and blame it. That is just a diversion, government is the power. Doesn't matter what you call it capitalism, fascism, etc. Just words... government is the power.:cool:

Seems like the solution is for everybody to camp out under the bridge while sharing a candle and howling at the moon....

Really, nearmiss...what viable, alternative energy is affordable/available in Japan?

My answer to that question is None.

Who says any country should pay just debts of another country. Who derived the benefits from the debt, who made the debt. The indebted country should be responsible for it's own debts.

Not true, government doesn't do anything it doesn't want to do. Capitalism is an ideology and there are as many variants of capitalism as breeds of dogs.

Capitalism isn't the problem. The problem is governments don't use their ability to stop abuses, or they wink at them. The media and the governments will point at capitalism, fascism, etc. as the problem. Governments always take the back seat, but they are the movers and shakers that allow or inhibit ideologists of every sort.

The ideologists (environmentalists) don't want a Canadian pipeline into Texas refineries. Government is going along with the ideologists and the Canadians may end up building a pipeline to western Canada and selling the oil to the Chinese.

The ideology isn't the problem unless government doesn't do it's job in restraining it.

No question ideologists influence governments, but government can make it's own choices regardless of the influence. Government has the power to do it's own will.

I wouldn't argue on this, but I do say when your country doesn't have enough of something people can become very resourceful.

The profit motives of free markets will always bring something of value that will work. Too much government intervention can inhibit free markets, but the Japanese have been very successful with their government and free markets for the past 60 years.

We do have a problem in the world today. So many countries think they have to have nuclear to be current. Maybe it's rivalry, who knows all the motivations. Whatever the cause, the Japanese are paying a dear price.

Nuclear energy is an eternal problem for a short term solution. That makes no sense, unless you just don't care.

My understanding is America has no government energy policy.

In one of the videos the speaker infers American nuclear power facilities in many locations could be affected by a disaster just as Japan.

Well...mathematically speaking......

There are to many cats.....in the cat box.....

The solution to that?
Is imponderable.

So back to CloD and lawyer abuse....;)

whilst my comments may indicate an offtopic remark of which i wont make. i would like to encourage those interested in the combined problem where the energy crysis is directly related to the current economic crysis.

for those interested, please do watch! its just another angle of intrinsic values and events that are related.
