We are entering the stage where ideology and education about sustainability and living within carrying capacity will be augmented by the reality of identifiable consequences of our overshoot. External consequences like the peaking and decline of below ground energy and commodity resources, above ground environmental degradation of our climate, soils, fisheries and climate will have a profound effect on our culture.
2009 is the year when we start to feel it.

I don't think so. I left a few forums that I belonged to for years. Stopped cold turkey. Never posted again.
Yeah, but this was his VERY FIRST DAY! And he skips in here telling us how nutty we are... takes a few swings... posts a WND article on abiotic oil (LOL!!) then he gets kicked around a bit and and walks out. I tell ya, this doesn't happen every day around here. _________________ Got Dharma?

I certainly hope he and the rest of the Happy Face crowd are right. The thought of total economic and ecological collapse scares the daylights out of me sometimes.
Maybe if he would come back and tell us more... _________________ Got Dharma?

Debriefing is good. (group hug)
He sent me a PM - we are going to have lunch together and he promised not to bring re-runs of "all in the family"...or the 50-cal. _________________ 500 MPH into a brick wall - me

Will you need me to bring along a few of my Russian friends, just in case? We could hang around out front and greet him as he leaves. _________________ Got Dharma?

I did not see anything the op wrote that was overly offensive, and I'm disappointed he won't be posting here again. It was a entertaining read, while it lasted. Try not to scare the next one away, will yah.. geeze. _________________ "Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb."

Well - in the title he put "may be my last"... He came into this knowing dam well he was going to pick a fight. And that he did.
Ignorant people need to not be so obvious about it.

I thought we did a nice job welcoming him here. We showed him around, quite a few nicely shook his hand, we offered him a drink and showed him some nice casual reading material. I even offered a relaxing welcome wagon video featuring some of my overseas friends. For crying out loud, even the Big Boss dropped by, TWICE, which is a rare treat for new guys. We treated him like royalty and should applaud ourselves for this.
Well done, everyone!!
And then what? He simply walks out on us. Dumps us all like we don't even exist anymore. I feel like we've been taken advantage of somehow. And we had so much more to offer. Strange, how totally rude some people can be. _________________ Got Dharma?
