In Chapter $12 a gallon, “The tide of gasoline prices will shift Americans from the burbs to the cities,” Steiner said. “If civilization is to march forward, however, a couple of acres simply won’t be an accessible or realistic part of most Americans’ lives, nor, with high energy costs, will a huge house and yard be a desirable way to live. Our cities will regroup, renew and grow denser.”

Chris Steiner’s book, $20 PER GALLON, methodically illustrates how American society, in fact, world societies will change as the price of gasoline inevitably rises to $20 a gallon. Many may scream, “What about the 100 years of reserves in the Bakken Fields, or the ocean floor off of Alaska and more fields in the Gulf of Mexico?”

For 15 years, from the mid 1970s to 1990, I worked in Detroit, Michigan. I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses and school yards. Trash everywhere! Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it and ignored it.

At one time, as a kid, I flipped a dime to the cashier to watch Vincent Price scare the heck out of me at a movie. I pulled out a nickel to pay for a Snickers candy bar. I bought a hamburger for 15 cents. I bought a school lunch for 35 cents. When I hit 16 with my ‘57 Chevy, I paid 29 cents a gallon of gas. I gobbled popcorn for a dime while I watched John Wayne in Rio Bravo.
On my office wall, I enjoy a picture titled “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” depicting a Hollywood Diner with Marilyn Monroe sitting on a bar stool, Elvis Presley sneering at me, James Dean scowling into his leather jacket and Marlon Brando standing in a muscle T-shirt—quite handsome I might add!
Those stars defined America in the 50s, 60s and 70s. At the time, we thought they and we would live forever. No doubt a candy bar could always be bought for a nickel. And, of course, gas would always remain at 29 cents a gallon!

While those 20 million enjoy employment, housing, welfare, food and medical care on U.S. taxpayer dollars, 15 million Americans cannot find a job. An astounding 32.2 million Americans subsist on food stamps. Our working poor and minorities languish in the streets and 13 million American children live below the poverty level.

Today, Labor Day, 2009, while 16-million to 17-million American workers are out of work or underemployed because of the Great Recession, the disgraceful, perfidious U.S. government is kicking those fallen workers by continuing to import 1.5 million foreign workers a year, that's 125,000 unwanted aliens every month. One hundred and fifty thousand new (net) jobs a month need to be added to the economy just to keep up with this mass-immigration driven foreign-workers deluge.
If I were one of the 16-million to 17-million victims of the U.S. government's cynical, aggressive frontal assault on America's working people, there would be a kind of hell to pay from which the politicians and bureaucrats would never, ever fully recover!
"There comes a time in the life of us all," wrote Edward Abby (Monkey Wrench Gang)," when we must lay aside our books or put down our tools and leave our place of work and walk forth on the road to meet the enemy face-to-face, once and for all and at last."

After 40 years of relentless immigration from the third world’s poorest nations, and an additional 100 million people added to America from all over the planet: White, Black, Hispanic and Muslims now battle for positioning within the United States. The fantasy of a human bouquet of civility degrades into harsher realities of a fast-Balkanizing civilization. In reality, each ethnic group finds comfort, solace and identity, not in America, but within its own tribe and language....

Anyone looking at present day Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix, Houston, Albuquerque, Chicago and New York City—cannot help but see and hear that Americans have lost America. Americans surrendered their language and culture to Mexicans streaming across their borders like a “human Katrina.”
Manuel Alderete, Mexican Movement member, Los Angeles, CA, Occupied Anahuac—emailed my office a disconcerting letter titled: “Ten Reasons Why Mexicans Have Already Won; and you Americans have lost.”
Anybody out there in America that could refute this man’s arrogance, his certitude, his braggadocio? Frankly, I agree with him.

Teddy Kennedy died yesterday, but his legacy grows more deadly for future Americans.
Instead of a rich legacy bequeathed upon the United States by forever U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, the oft-intoxicated, blubbery fourth brother of the Kennedy clan—four decades ago--drunkenly drove over a bridge that caused the death of Mary Jo Kopechne and lied about what happened.
But his worst and most destructive legacy for the United States stems from his authorship of the 1965 “Immigration Reform Act” that added the bulk of our additional 100 million people into America within 40 years. It jumped legal immigration from 170,000 annually to 1.1 million annually. Added to that disastrous environmental legacy, his actions provoked a complete ethnic change of our stable society into a fractured civilization. How? He provided for entrance of immigrants from cultures totally incompatible with U.S. culture. He downgraded citizenship by not enforcing our laws or maintaining educational standards.
