Doomerism gaining credibility? You're kidding right. Sheesh, I don't even have to be the one starting it anymore. I'm getting hit over the head with varying levels of doom from LOTS of people lately. Not PO but economic depression/recession stuff, and understandably so. Cooper tire just closed up shop, (1300 jobs), there was a cattle call for 130 full time jobs for a sub-contractor to work at the marine base, over 600 were waiting to interview the first morning, they canceled the sunday session they got so many applications on saturday.

Is it gaining credibility, I don't know, but I sure hope not, as it is irrelevant to our problems being solved.

Here in Winterpeg, two separate businesses about 20km apart related to "preparedness" opened up. No joke. However I don't see this as a good thing. There is a difference between being aware there is about to be a train wreck and keeping level headed and using intelligent thought and action to try to reduce the damage of the same train wreck. I think having the majority (which we should remember is the stupid part of the population) running around like Chicken Little is not a good scene for the rest of us.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('bodigami', 'i') disagree, we must not asume that the majority is stupid... i have hope that humans can be wise when given the opportunity... what if most solutions aren't being implemented because of peak oil-aware have no hope that others can help?
