:D
I live here in Wilmington N.C. , and been reading on the Subject of our possible Demise..... I took the Public bus down into our "downtown", and gave "Peak Oil" alot of consideration..... Looked at the Jobs that were around me in this city, and thought, How much of this "productivy" is really producing food?
And then thought of the possibilty of "erasing" 1/2 of the gas/oil/ whatever,, the Thoughts began too sink in, and what I realized began to really frighten me.....
People here were really freaking out when Oil per barrel went to 40+ dollars...... In the next year or so are we too expect 50/60 or even higher per barrel of oil??? I'm assuming yes.......
For those of you that DO NOT live in the USA,,, Things here are going to get very, very scary here for us..... I'm thinking the worst possible senerio.... Honestly,,, as I've spoken to people around town and everyone has "wool" pulled over their eyes, thinking science and the goverment will save us or won't let something like this "happen" too us because this is America right????? I've been trying too "sound" the Alarm but everyone thinks I'm "NUTS"!!!!!
I've been tracking things in the Middle East and the prospects are looking grim as things there are getting worse by the day..... Can you say "NUKES"????? In reference to Iran/Iraq and suadi A......
Most people here now ARE living from Paycheck too paycheck,, because of fuel prices..... What do ya think will happen when gas goes through the ceiling or something happens like the 73 embargo???? There WILL be riots, civil unrest, you name it it's invitable all the while as our goverment will "blame" the terrorist's on our not being able to have "cheap oil"...... Then we may or will become a "police State" very soon thereafter......I'm giving this alot of thought, and I know this is my first post,,, but Like "Matt" said we in America are animials, and were likely too act like a PO'ed bear thats really hungry and will go too no means too feed ourselves....... Though we have a nuke plant here in our city I don't see it being refueled as oil/fuel runs dry,, and the plant cannot be refueled..... Then even here it will be a extream crisis reguardless of the outcome..... I myself, I glad that I know how to hunt/fish/farm to provide me and my small family with food..... And Shelter... But there's a big catch to that...... How's about the other 150K in our fair city??? I'm going to expect a mass exoudous to the nearby country, and compete for the remaining resources/wildlife, that are there in order too feed themselves... Then America as a whole???? Givin we have the most "guns" per population per capita,,, well ya get the picture????? Just my humble .02
