Prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.

Our infotainment media keeps Americans pretty well insulated from
reality. I don't think most Americans have any idea about how 
wasteful we are. There certainly is a percentage of Americans who 
think we have a "manifest destiny" (even though it is beginning 
to look like the same one the lemmings have) an entitlement to rule the 
planet. Unfortunately for them, even relatively frugal western 
Europe is going to have a hard time managing its' life style. Wars 
certainly aren't the answer, India and Pakistan are highly populated
and nuclear armed. A war there would leave only a few humans to face
the fruition of our industrial age, based on fossil fuel.

Some do but most of the manufacturing jobs have been out sourced.
