I nominate George Carlin as the official Peak Oil website mascot. He has the essential persona - negativity.

Seriously, he is a brilliant man and he can connect the dots well, but he is lacks vision and faith.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vision-master', 'I')'m begining to think & believe Peak Oil is just another sign/ warning for the spiritual ones to prepare for the Purification, the coming of the Great Destroyer, the Rapture.

The time of the Sixth Sun.

I hear a very gentle sound, Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear, Come today, come today
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ayoob', 'I')f George Carlin says it, it must be true. I trust standup comedians for all my scientific and financial news.

Here's another adage I picked up somewhere along the way attempting to understand people:

"The truest things are said in jest."

[dorlomin]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dunewalker', 'A') comedian's material has to come from his audience. If they don't understand what he's talking about, he flops. So, comedians reflect the common consciousness of their audience. To crack a peak oil joke requires an awareness on the part of the comedian that the audience is aware of peak oil. So this is significant, as Hagakure says.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '.')..but it is another sign of impending recognition, a very scary phenomena. That's when fear/rage hits the masses, mobs form, and "leaders" play their cards.

George talked about what would happen if the lights went out and how prisons would not be able to function. He loves scaring the hell out of audiences in a sick humor sort of way. Always been a huge fan!

I would enjoy talking to Carlin. He says he doesn't see it ending well. I don't see it ending at all. Life is a constant struggle, its humorous and tragic. Pretty much everything he says I agree with but I guess I don't end up in the same place.

[mercurygirl]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') figured out years ago that the human species is totally fucked and has been for a long time. I also know that the sick, media-consumer culture in America continues to make this so-called problem worse. But the trick, folks, is not to give a fuck. Like me. I really don't care. I stopped worrying about all this temporal bullshit a long time ago. It's meaningless.

More George Carlin on fat people

Just for a saturday night giggle.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'T')he guy is voicing very deep fears and laughing about it. I guess people find that empowering or something?

[TWilliam]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'T')hat's interesting TWilliam. Laughter does have a very aggressive demeanor. Bared teeth and raised eyebrows? Just like a chimp or baboon. Good observation. Really good.

[TWilliam]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', '.')..baring teeth, hooting and screaching all are done when they make the sex as well.

[dinopello]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TWilliam', 'S')how just about anyone a face-only video of someone laughing at a comedian and then one of someone in the throes of orgasm and I doubt they'll have any difficulty identifying which is which...
