Re: The stupid stuff that would be tyrants will do��
Such deals will be more and more commonplace as these energy resources (oil,gas) will become less abundant. Some scientists say that by 2040, there will be no gas and oil left.
Some weeks ago, other scientists said we will not even make it to 2040.
That scares me more than anything else.

Re: The stupid stuff that would be tyrants will do��
I doubt we'll ever use up -all- the oil. By the time we get down to Last gallon level, it'll be far too expensive to be practical..

2. You exclusively employ gun boat diplomacy
3. Your planets are all named after youself
4. You randomly select people for termination as a birthday present to your children
5. You demand that you be called GOD all the time
6. You make great war plans and your Generals mess them up by being defeated
7. You vision of a perfect society only includes yourself and genetically enhanced replicas of yourself
8. Your flag ship is named Tyrant
9. Your favorite form of entertainment is to watch people being fed to monsterous beasts
10. You have 10 doubles who are all expendable

Re: The stupid stuff that would be tyrants will do��
As for oil, sounds like it could be a blessing in disguise, to me, in the long run. For example, Rome will be a lot nicer place to go for a walk in, once the air doesn't coat one's nostrils in black tar.
