HawkMan (So who's with me?)

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Either gather with Hawkman or scattereth abroad!!!
It would help if the avatars were sized according to forum avatar limitations

It is easier to enslave a people that wish to remain free then it is to free a people who wish to remain enslaved.

I think these cartoon figures are silly, they don't convey the seriousness of a topic like Peak Oil.
It's all downhill from here

You are right, of course. But so what? This is the open forum where silly is OK, along with the rest of it. Are cartoon figures any more silly than some stoner making up his own mythology and obsessively writing 5000 word rambling posts that sound like something from The Berkely Barb circa 1967?$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he Berkeley Barb was an underground newspaper which was published in Berkeley, California, from 1965 to the early 1980s. It was one of the first and most influential of all the counterculture newspapers of the late 1960s, covering such subjects as the anti-war and civil rights movements as well as the social changes advocated by the youth culture.
The newspaper was founded in August, 1965 by Max Scherr. Quill Max was editor from the newspaper's inception until the mid-1970s.
One of the Barb's most famous covers showed a boy with a chain around his mind. Another interesting cover showed in green ink the body of a dead hog. The headline read Pig Slain!. This issue sold rapidly as readers sought additional information on what they thought would be an article on a cop-killing. Search as they might, there was nothing in the paper that related to the cover. The entire thing was to sell more papers, and it worked.
In March 1967 the Barb, hoping to trick authorities into banning bananas, ran a satirical story which claimed that dried banana skins contained "bananadine", a {fictional) psychoactive substance which, when smoked, induced a psychedelic high similar to opium and psilocybin. (The Barb may have been inspired by Donovan's 1966 song "Mellow Yellow", with its lyric "Electrical banana/Is gonna be a sudden craze"; Donovan, in turn, was inspired by a banana-shaped vibrator.) The hoax was believed and spread through the mainstream press, and was perpetuated after William Powell included it in The Anarchist Cookbook. Runs on bananas at supermarkets occurred, reminiscent of those that had occurred with morning-glory seeds a few years earlier. A New York Times article on illicit drugs by Donald Louria, MD, noted in passing, that "banana scrapings, provide— if anything—a mild psychedelic experience."[1] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was forced to make a serious investigation, and concluded that banana skins are not psychedelic. Interestingly enough, the skins do contain a measurable amount of toluene, which is also found in airplane glue. It was thought at the time among certain quarters that the so-called bananadine may have been a hoax, but since sniffing airplane glue most definitely did supply the user with a high, smoking the skin of a banana would release enough toluene to give one a high. It usually only took one cigarette of dried and toasted skins to give one a high roughly equivalent to a marijuana cigarette, although the effects did not last as long. This might have simply been a placebo effect or even oxygen deprivation since toasted skins did not burn very well.
The only copy I ever got had a huge article about numerology. Just reading it was enough to get you stoned.
