How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Could you please give all the sticky posts the sticky symbol? It would be easier to spot them. _________________ "If humans don't control their numbers, nature will." -Pimentel

The posts that seem to be stickies are "prioritized" threads. They have no symbol. _________________ A Saudi saying, "My father rode a camel. I drive a car. My son flies a jet-plane. His son will ride a camel."

What is the difference between those and stickies? They always seem to be right below the stickies. _________________ "If humans don't control their numbers, nature will." -Pimentel

We can "prioritize" threads into a order that they will appear on the page whether they are posted to or not. Announcements and stickies can also be prioritized in an order we wish them to appear.

Substitute "computer" for "television set" and the whole argument comes down to this:
Quote:
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to the Outer Limits.
