NYMEX Crude Oil (Light) ........................121.20 5.64 NYMEX NYH RBOB Gasoline (Globex) ...... 3.0421 .1318

Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!

Civilisation, Primitivism and anarchism
Public Policy; Political and Legal News
Most primitivists evade the question of what level of technology they wish to return to by hiding behind the claim that they are not arguing for a return to anything, on the contrary they want to go forward. With that in mind a reasonable summary of their position is that certain technologies are acceptable up to the level of small village society sustained by hunting and gathering. The problems for primitivists start with the development of agriculture and mass society.

Another "technology will be the savior" article. Flood forgets how demanding technology (including military technology) is---not just of energy, but of basic parts and human specialists. It is incredibly delicate and needs daily stroking. The major disruptions that even Flood seems to acknowledge are coming will be poison for technology and will, inevitably, knock it down to a much more primitive level.

Many writers like Flood do not seem to have much training in biology or ecology. They seem to think that biological systems---on which we all, even economists, ultimately depend--- just magically bounce back after being seriously damaged or destroyed. They may recover, but it takes thousands of years, not a human lifetime or even five human lifetimes.

His article focuses a lot on the rich and how they will be able to insulate themselves and then serve as loci of technology and control. I keep thinking of Russia's Romanov family. All their guards and protective structures were useless against the fury of a starving Russian people. There are countless other historical examples of how the insulation provided by money goes only so far. Also, in an economic collapse, money can quickly become worthless.

Finally, learn to spell, Mr. Flood. Learn to use basic punctuation, including semicolons (ever heard of one of those?) and commas. I don't mind a few mistakes here and there, and we're all guilty of them, but so many are distracting to the reader and detract from your message. Also, they make me suspicious of your educational background and therefore of the authoritativeness of your commentary.
