Your posts have indicated oil was a factor in the cause of population growth, which is not necessarily so....What fuelled the birth rate was testosterone.

I notice many, shall we say, "negative quotes", how about some portion of this basic and positive advice.

And on review before submitting my post it seems there is an impending flame war here as well – wtf is up with you people?

Is gasoline too cheap? Can't wait for the Big One?

Find a way to work off your stress and anxiety somewhere else for Christ's sake, this gets tiring!

Anyway, from SpringCreekFarm:

You start planning with the real show stoppers. Water, food, shelter, heat and on down the line to watever makes you more comfortable and secure. Thats how I plan. Being able to prioritize and being flexible are the keys to always moving forward with this pursuit of preparation.

Human imagination is a much more powerful force for change on this planet than fossel fuels. As we have seen on this forum, it can create utter darkness, suffering & despair. But it can also build cathederals and cities from nothing but mud and stone and human sweat & blood.

Arguing with either Global Warming Denialists or Peak Oil Denialists is about an effective a use of time for myself as arguing with the crazy homeless people loitering on 80% of the streetcorners here in Chicago.

I generally don't bother.

The FACTUAL evidence is overwhelming. Generally people who can't see it either (1) have not looked at the evidence, (2) have an underlying political/religious/philosophical agenda that eventually comes to light with enough prodding, or (3) are developmentally compromised in some way.

Every second you waste on a probable troll is one where you could be communicating to a probable thinking and rational human being (not that it will do all that much good at this stage in the game).

And that's all I have to say about it...

Economics requires growth, and its appetite is blind: like a hungry animal with no sense of taste, it attempts to eat anything it can get its hands on.

This quote's got a soul. It's poetic, it's true, and I'm awfully fond of similes and metaphors. Thanks, gg3.
