Trick is to get on with it and concentrate on why you are doing the move and what the benefits are.

If the change is involuntary then compare it with the price of not complying.

Or as it was once said "Change is the only constant" (apart from the speed of light, pi, E, and a few others).

All those presently pathologically dependent on petroindustrial civilization will be utterly incapable of adapting to a life where they have to do real work. When the prehistoric slaves that we've been buying so cheaply go away we'll see a wave of real mass suicide.
I don't know anybody who lives in the REAL world--you know, the one humans have lived in for 100,000's of years. The good ole USA is populated with whiney, obese, consumeroid zombies who wont last a day without the petroluem nipple. Compared to your average Neadertal we're a bunch of clueless retards-emotional and intellectual infants who've lived our entire lives in the petroindustrial womb.
The native people see suicide as the only rational response to the sucking cancer of greed, destruction, and wanton waste that OUR "lifestyle" (<oxymoron, for sure) is inflicting on them.

Relax, this air-conditioned nightmare (the good life) is about to go away, taking 5 or so billion with it.

I hope so. That makes me feel good about all the Americans who own guns.

I'm more angry that the world became what it is now. I thought the world(besides Global Warming, Fossil Fuels, blah) was at its best before technology like computers came in. People watched TV periodically, but the world was at relative ease. I know that my sisters may have trouble couping with eating foods they don't like, but once again, it may never be that bad.

any ....who comes to me in america here and tells to me about "values and morals" after reading this article i might just gut the ... with my survivla knife. :( . I dont know what i will do really.
I took a nice walk at lunch today. I saw the fattest women i have ever seen filling up her bloated suv at the pump. her one leg was as wide as my body. her head tiny. and I am a pretty stout MF. ... these massive turds. I have very little sympathy for any fat pig that cant adapt to the change coming. I want the change more and more as I read more an more about the murder by PROXY. I am ashamed I am part of it. But I am a small part. and I am proud of making it smaller. Crazy horse where are u? :)

my whole life is been about change. I must have been a tribal runner or somthin. no problem here. painful sometimes. other times not.

I edddited out the words ok I swear. sue me.

You sound like a rabid fundementalist preacher denouncing your congregation as a "generation of vipers".

Have a little faith in your fellow man, and the resiliance of your civilisation.

The grotesqueries and dissoluteness of the last two or three generations have not changed the tough, resourceful and co-operative people we are underneath.

You are in for a pleasant surprise I think. When the scales of fake materialsm fall from our eyes other people are all we have, we will treasure them more than ever before and find great solace in them, and goodness too. That is my belief.

No, i think we have a generation of monsters - they're called "Yuppies" and if Peak Oil does not slide into Peak Energy it will be in the teeth of the Yuppies' opposition.

Of the ordinary person, I have no doubt....they can be relied upon. But it's been a long while since anyone reliable was in power, either in power in govt or in power in industry.
