Essentially, that those of us who have had a dread of western profligacy also suffer along with the wasters......that we have had no choice but to sit back and watch the smug self congratulatory self obsessed squander our planet, its wealth and its climate.......

whilst they smugly patted themselves on their backs, derided the less wasteful lives of the less "advanced" and indulged themselves in their inanely idiotic past time of being witty with no regard for the need for once, just once, to take a modicum of sobriety to the business of looking at what we have, are losing and can never regain. I'm just sick that my planet has been squandered by a bunch of dimwits.

Bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye. I guess I might be doing the same. Of course, you can die with a smug feeling of moral superiority. Much good it may do you.

Basically, Peak Oil says that we were still ruled by selfishness and greed and that we were not ready as a civilization for a gift as great as oil. I'm sure if oil were discovered during a renaissance, by the right people, it would have been used to benefit future Ages of Man instead of just Petroleum Age Man. We F'd up big time.

Just like a man who blows a massive lottery win and leaves himself broke. Fucking wasteful idiots.

Yes we are all to blame, and the finger pointing is just a glimpse of things to come.
