The Great Depression was an economic crisis what we are facing is an economic crisis and a physical crisis. During the great depression the physical energy was there to get us out.
Now as we enter this new depression, whenever we try and grow are way out we are going to be smacked down by PO. |

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.

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-crap 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 crap 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. |

I like this one:
| Quote: | 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.
