:!: doh! Didn't realize it was supposed to be other people's quotes! Sorry, didn't mean to be self-congratulatory

I question the nature of today's "money." I think the only real capital is natural capital. The paper and electronic stuff is a human overlay entirely derivative of the natural base, which is in bad shape and getting worse.

I wonder if I am the only one on this entire forum who actually saw 'Road Warrior' and noticed that the GOOD GUYS WON? I will repeat that. In the movie "Road Warrior" (certainly the best of the Mel Gibson post-apocalyptic science fiction movie franchises that include 'Mad Max' and the much overrated 'Beyond Thunderdome') the white linen, organic cotton, long-haired male PEACENICKS actually kicked Humongous's slick butt and made a fool out of the dumb-shit Mel Gibson character. They played the jerk for the looser he was.

Now, you Mattsavinar ('I am alpha chimp dumb guy') and you Ludi ('organic vegan saves souls') probably didn't even watch the movie. If you had, you would have noticed that the mucho-grando battle shit was a diversion. Just like Iraq is a diversion. The rabble need their entertainment so the civilized people can can continue building society, supporting the arts, creating educational opportunities for everyone and doing the hard, tedious work of actually building a future.

What would change things is a revolution. Okay. I said it. Now the whole fucking board is on the watch list.

I'm just not prepared to completely reject ideas of alternative forms of energy just because they are expensive, difficult, non-renewable or take more energy in another form to create.

OIL has created a fantasy of "morals and values". Oil has created a false "compassion" as well. Soon we will find out a swarm has been created and these "morals, values and compassion" are going to go bye bye. Maybe they will return after WE HAVE PAYED THE PIPER. I do have to laugh about how disconnected humans truly and how they think that we are really going to get off scott free and suffer zero or very minimal consequences for our actions. Ludicrous to say the least. Just pass the buck big boys.

I'm going to be pissed if a zombie eats myself or my wife.

Just exactly how would slaves make oil? Would we squish them and put them in a pressure cooker or would we work them to death in some ethanol plant?

Fossil fuels didn't cause growth in population. This is factually incorrect.

Dude , after high-school I wandered around in a marijuana, alcohol and cocaine induced haze with a perpetual hard-on for 2 years, for 3 years after that I worked ,partied, spent a lot of time in bars and sowed some more oats, had LOTS of fun. You need to kiss that GAWD shit goodbye and live a little. Especially if TSHTF !

Memories are all you’re going to have in the end so make em’ good ones. Besides , if you really have the sex drive of a watermelon you got bigger problems than your immediate future. You should be a walking testosterone filled nut-sack at your age . You need to see a doctor , get some Viagra and start making the girls smile. There will be plenty of time for real life down the road, and if there is no down the road after TSHTF, all the more reason to raise hell in the time you have left
