Is it time for the US to naturalize all natural resources and agricultural/produce products?

Socialism should be used very little and very carefully,it tends to reduce things to their lowest common denominator.

No; too many people, not enough land and resources.

In terms of natural resources the United States is definitely rich.  We can mine minerals and then make items such as cars, trucks, and massive industrial equipment.   We can harvest trees and build houses, and feed not only North America but parts of the world.  \nFinancially, China is the financial capital of the world, not the US.\nThe US is the largest debtor nation in the world and the dollar is on the decline.

Maybe the US would become more independent and rely on its own resources.

YES YES YES... The USA and Canada should DRILL IN THE NORTH COUNTRY.. Use OUR OWN OIL and drive the price of gasoline down to improve both countries ECONOMIES.. As soon as the ECONOMIES are at a point where everyone isn't spending so much on fuel that we can invest the money in FUEL ALTERNATIVES.. After we develop HYDROGEN and NATURAL GAS powered vehicles we can go in and REPAIR and REPOPULATE the areas that we had to use to DRILL and MINE.. It's a pretty simple plan, but of course we'll FOREVER have some ECO-FREAK or LIBERAL whining and crying about the spotted-left handed-migratorial-one eyed-ring tailed otters habitat..

yes good idea let all boycott american companies who buy goods from canada to stay in buisness and bring us foods at a price most of us can afford. that way the overall price of seafood can go up among other things thereby raising the cost of living for american citizens while at the same time inflicting major damages on an entire industry and pushing hard working american citizens  out of jobs while were at it we should boycott all the cattle ranchers in the world for killing calfs for veal  and chicken farmers for selling eggs. come to think of it we should all just become vegetarians and lock up everybody who thinks different. this way the animals can roam free. the end

I don't believe you can.  It would definitely help if the environment was at the forefront of most American's minds so that littering and dumping of chemical wastes would cease and maybe some of the negative effects would eventually dissipate.  But private owned companies are becoming more and more greedy and regulators are not encouraged to watch dog over them so the world is dissipating and we along with it.

A) It would make our president less rich.\nB) Americans are WAY too lazy to actually care about our environment because all we wanna do is SPEND SPEND SPEND!\nC) We are neglegent of the benefits of biodiesel and such renewable sources.\nD) We would also be putting Middle-Eastern nations out of business - how sad.\nand\nE) We're Americans - we don't care about anything or anyone but ourselves for the most part.\n\nI agree, it's unbelievably cheap to manufacture biodegradable, renewable sources of energy, but we don't have the time and some of us don't even have the resources.  I also think that if Americans could get up off our lazy butts, we could honestly show the rest of the world that we can change our environment before it's too late.  I spend an average of $80+ per week in gas between two cities.  Biofuels would not only save us, but save our environment.

very.  to fix is you need to redefine a nation's priorities.  change from what i want (something to entertain me) to what they need (the need for basic items to live).  interesting question to pose to the most selfish and self obsesed people in the world.  (not every american is like that, but i think as a nation we are).

anyone who thinks that the world is overproducing food is just plain not paying attention. The current practices of food production in the world give us (or any living thing) about 40-80 more years of soil left for which to grow food in. If the practices of today's farmers are authenticated, then we can start "turning the clock back." To answer your question, the point was about 1940 when we overtook the earth's ability to provide for us. (think baby boomers). If we do things right, we can provide a healthy life for a pop'n of over 8 billion. Right now,only about 750 million people get adequately clean food and water.

In America, we've stabalized the polution.  The problem is that we can only control our own nation.  We can't stop nations like China and Mexico from polluting.\n\nThe other thing to look at is history.  The earth goes through natural warm and cool stages (you have the ice ages, then you have periods of warm weather, then you go back to the ice ages).  We are in a warm period now, and eventually (probably within 5,000 years) will go back to another ice age.

do you live in the USA? well i think that we should take care of our own first unlike what we currently do! we need to stop spending billions upon billions of American dollars over seas and our space projects and take care of home first ..... then worry about everything else..... the USA should not have a homless population muchless starving familes!

1. eliminate corruption and dictatorship;\n\n2. expand and support the native system of concentrating wealth for starting small businesses;\n\n3. move away from agriculture that competes with the agribusinesses in Europe and North America and toward the special, exotic fruits and vegetables that can be sold at a premium in the developed countries, adding an effort to "brand" the items. If Chile can bring fruit and vegetables to the US markets in good condition, Africa should be able to as well.\n\n4. try to get the African countries to develop regional and continent-wide tourism marketing, and remove the impediments to tourism, such as unstable governments and rebellion.

yeh, i hate the limp patriot bs of the cattle mannered. looks like the human utopia vision isnt of strong minds & tech wonders after all. humans have, for the last 5000 years, insisted on being conditioned, ruled & provided for even after being given a usa. we want to be livestock. perhaps thats just what we need.

we all should think about keeping our farmers working  here in this country and not buy ALL our food from other countries like we have been doing.\nwe should tank them TOO !!\nso if our farmers get rich..and the other countries who are trying to ruin our economy does not get any more of our money so what..so be it..god for them\nbut they never will make that kind of money..our government will stop them..because the live in the USA..and the government will make them make more so we can have more and it is supposed to be cheaper for all of us\nONLY  TIME  WILL TELL

The power had to shift eventually!The U.S.has been running things for about 2 hundred years.Those other nations are acient,1000's of years old .So they don't like being pushed by an infant nation!But we can compete if we start putting more money into education,in small businesses,and start producing products that will out compete their competitors in the global market.
