Take the wayback machine to 1931

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?


Brother, Can You Spare A Dime?
Viddy well, little brother. Viddy well.

Bing Crosby, great voice, apparently a real sack of crap of a person. I remember reading that he'd tell directors that child actors were forbidden from addressing him directly.
Massive Human Dieoff <b>must</b> occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where <b>you</b> live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.

In 1931 you could eat a good meal for a dime, and a room rented at a cheap motel would cost you a quarter. They need to up date this song for the new era, Brother can you spare a ten? Maybe a twenty? And for a one night room rent in a fleabag motel you better have 40 or more.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
