It was a perfect summer day in Santa Barbara, and we were slowly swaying back and forth on his front porch swing. I can see the look on his face as though it was yesterday. He was looking forward, staring blankly, and for some reason he said “in the end, credit will ruin America. And whoever controls the water will have alllllllll the power.”

I had no idea what he meant at the time. He only lived another six years, so I never got to ask him why he told me that. I don’t wonder any more.

But what these six gentlemen had to say, about the stupidity and depravity of humankind, has to be the most telling facts in 2,000 years. Every single word makes perfect sense; all the oil in the universe is worthless without water to run it with. History channel should get an Emmy for a most factual documentary and these six men should get a Nobel Prize for their incredible pulse on humanity.

Let us, therefore, rejoice.
