I have to angrily vent about this Peak Oil stuff.

Just turn a negative into a positive.

Find something that is necessary for life & NOT in your local area (it's salt for me...I know of no salt mines in Minnesota and it's necessary for survival).

Buy up alot of it & when everybody in the area needs it & they don't have it...you can become wealthy beyond imagination :)

now now, zeeea, you haven't been here long enough. Don't go throwing people you don't know onto Easter Island. I've got a huge stash of salt, btw. More valuable than gold when the chips are down.

The long stoic faces of Hummer debtors still making payments will prove testament enough of a disappearing culture. We should be so lucky we get to witness this event in our lifetimes.

What does school teach these days that can help kids sustain themselves though? Apart from fitting in with socialisation and the need to get somewhere on time that is?

They arent taught respect are they when a teacher cant discipline them and "teach" them whats right and wrong in fear of being accused of some nasty moral deed. From what I can see the kids have the upperhand these days and schools now are nothing but a big day care centre! They come out abusive selfish disrespectful creatures. The whole system teaches mainly useless information which they cannot use in the real world of self-reliance, only business orientated reliance, and they know its a waste of time. They know the resources are running out.

When kids leave school without learning to read or write, lack of respect for others, a need to have everything they see because little Joey down the road has started a new trend ...you get my point ...kids come out conditioned to live this lifestyle ...they just dont know any better do they?

So it all comes down to conditioning from an early age. People can overcome that though, I have. I was Lead Supervisor in a plastics Injection Molding Factory Division 2 and had the highest training possible at the time. I was in charge of the workers, getting new jobs, making sure we had enough material etc etc etc. Then i found I was pregnant when i wasnt supposed to be. Then I found the entire time id been working that my male counterpart in Division 3 who had the same responsibilites, less training and less succesful in obtaining new jobs, was getting payed more than me?! May I also add that the Division 3 Supervisior was my husband ...yes ...I was so uninterested in his wage I didnt know he was getting payed more than me!!! I was more than happy to pay my own way ...

From that day on I decided this world is corrupt, everything I learned was useless and the only way forward was the path I made myself to self-sufficiency. If they thought men could do the job better than me then let them I say ...just dont complain when theres another single mother living off everyone elses taxes ...

Ive never looked back and am thankful in a way it happened for it to open my eyes to what this world is really about ...

Specop I feel the same way sometimes.

I feel so robbed. Why am I the 19 year old kid with the pimples on his face who can tell you that 5 years down the road we're all effed but my Dad still wants me to go to college and become a lawyer and a politician. I just wonna kick the shit out of anyone over 45 sometimes. Sometimes I wonder why we let them in the grocery stores...do they even deserve those precious calories?

But just think of it this way, in 5 years when they can't afford the drugs to help their arthritis or don't know how to build a cob home, we can just do what the eskimos did, let the useless bastards walk off into the forest until they're consumed by wolves or become a different persons burden. But it's not the right mentality. I hate them but I know that lashing out isn't the right answer. I'm visiting an ecoviallge in September, I'm coming back to work and get enough money for a cob home and an acre of land and I'm getting off the grid by the end of 2009. I don't worry about anything else. Just try your best to get out. Stay optimistic about your pessimism but pessimism and pessimism together are a brutal combination. I drink enough as it is. Get out. Get out. Get out. (but if Mom and Pap ever ask you for a place to live cuz they thought your peak oil ideas were 'crazy' and didn't realize there was going to be a crash, then just use them as forced labour)
