[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 170956, member: 3419"] My husband sat at the table last night and talked about the possible response of Iran to a strike by Israel. They said they'd cut off the oil import avenues. I thought that was a great idea, frankly. But husband said it would make our economy crash. My response was that it is high time we, as a supposedly highly evolved techno-society, found another source of fuel. Supposedly things will heat up (excuse the expression in the Middle East) in 6 mo's, which doesn't give us time to change everything, incl. farm equip. that runs on gas, but hey, we've had yrs. Then, there could be a serious nuclear incident in the MiddleEast, and between that and the lack of oil, the U.S. could go into a depression at least as bad at the 1929 crash. In which case, we would have to declare bankruptcy and husband would have to practice out of the house. I wonder what would happen to the ins. industry? And how much we would have to pay for our medications and difficult child's medications? A very sobering thought. It's so strange that entities so far away and removed can pretty much control our lives. Meanwhile, I'm just happy I have a hybrid and that we have running water and medications. [/QUOTE]
