It’s time to wake up from the American Dream

And so it begins.

…Not that you’ll hear any of the three major candidates talking about the rationing of grain, nor about peak oil or any of the environmental daggers pointed at the heart of our lifestyle by global climate change.

And if they do speak about it all, they espouse the naive belief that technology and free markets will ultimately save us from ourselves.


Those who have followed the issues of resource depletion and climate change and have read the works of Richard Heinberg and James Howard Kunstler can only shake our heads.

To say “we told you so” might seem a bit cruel as all this unfolds, but nevertheless, if North American society is to survive with some modicum of decency, it’s time for people to educate themselves and demand action from their elected leaders.

My fear is that most Americans, even those in the know on these issues, have given up on political solutions. And down here, that means stockpiling guns and grains for the coming Armageddon.
