For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

I'm with BigTex, we should not make personal attacks. It should be about ideas, arguments, rationalization, analysis, and so on, not fruitless personal attacks. It's unhealthy for the "movement" of PO to be broken from within because of lack of amability. _________________ anagami.net

I am a Newbie and hopefully not a NOOB.
My little opinion: I don't need to trawl through every piece of data and expert opinion to understand that at a certain moment of time the cup becomes half empty......now you can either conserve and prepare for when the cup is empty, or just gulp it down quick and spill half it while you are at it....... Its going to be empty at some time or another (unless another drink can be found).....and we in the west aren't exactly taking tiny sips.

Another newby here,I would like to thank you all for this website.
I hate to admit it but I found you through the news story.
I am a gleaner by nature.I never throw anything away without thinking if there might be another possible use for it now or in the future.Never met a junkpile I didn't like. Grew up to do a little of everything.Raised on a ranch by grandparents who lived hard through the last depression.
8 years US. Army, Metal working,body work,heavy equipment operation, timber industry,water and waste water and now as a jack of all trades type for a small municipality in western Mt.
My greatest fear is not the total collapse of mankind but the danger that we will spiral into a depression that will make the thirties look like a cakewalk.
