Yes, usually a shorter one is preferred, such as: 'I want my mommy', or, 'I give up' ... something short, crisp, and to-the-point, as we generally offer everyone in the MQ section. But in this case, which is clearly an exception as everyone here knows, a few more words were used because our dear friend coyote offered something unusually brilliant. And it's very poor taste to edit and hack at something that delicious. So ... I invite you to ponder up something shorter for the next one.

Okay let me think here... a quote. I had one selected before on here, but I don't remember that one... How about this.

Quote:

I blame the Israeli government, but I love the jews!!!

no?

Quote:

Fat people serve as a good source of heat. The oily substance comprising their systems can be burnt to heat a small home for days.

no? a little to visual perhaps?

Quote:

I was really happy while I bought my new Honda generator yesterday. It seems strange that my happiest consumer moments are when I am buying stuff that prepares me for the collapse of civilization.

a little long?

A good example of multiple reasons for taking a break

So it's not so much a death of the first world lifestyle we're dealing with as it is a death of the American middle class. So the good life will continue to roll on in the USA, it's just that you may be watching it on TV rather than participating in it.

I love the "long tail" phrase. I think "long emergency" is not very accurate, no emergency in play at all, nothing frantic. Instead, an image of a 60 yr old with arthritis, slowly waddling his way through 4ft deep mud, for miles.

I agree we need less people and fast, but that's not realistically going to happen. The only way it IS going to happen is through conflict, what has human nature, history & evolution taught us? Prevailing ideologies prevail through force or numbers, by adapting faster than everything else, waiting out the catastrophe of the moment while everyone else tears themselves apart or withers and dies.

Abiotic oil debunking is a regular thing around here. New members who have not done their homework bring it up as a solution to the worlds problems. Posting a reply uses more energy than will ever be generated by such a thing.

Put a keyboard in front of me for a long enough time something intelligible should eventually result.
