PEAK OIL! So i just finished reading The Long Emergency... →[More:]I may have missed these conversations that have happened over and over and probably are fairly boring to most people, but this book is relentlessly blunt.
I find myself driving around and wondering which aspects of life as i know it will continue to exist. As i also just read 2012: The return of Queztalqoatl, i suppose i am more susceptible to end times theories and such, and it is possible that i want it to happen.

Sorry for the peak oil freakout...sincerely.

Have you seen Mad Max? After a recent viewing, my friends and I began to blame every injustice in society on "Peak Oil". "Why did that guy just spit on my car?" "It's after peak oil."

It seriously makes me want to reread The Stand...and/or join a commune.
