$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JJ', 't')hats if the armed men have removed you from your safe little homestead. How many minutes would it take to end years of preps? (not that anything is assured)

[darwinsdog]

Even if you're well armed so will "they" be. And if you have food you won't be as hunger motivated as they are. Armed groups of hungry people will kill you & take your food. Preparations are useless.

"To educate sheeple or not educate sheeple...that is the question?"
Well, getting back on topic and to answer your question.....No!
The eighteenth-century English poet Thomas Gray wrote: “Where ignorance is bliss, / ‘Tis folly to be wise.’”
So if the doomers are correct, and it is too late to power down, too late to plan and dieoff is inevitable...........why panic the masses?
N'est-ce pas?
P.S. Threw in the French to make Obama happy! LOL

Ever noticed how the media always calls people .... "consumers" ... what's next? "consumables?

Allenwrench: People have to want to listen to learn, just like children in school.
I do not think people want to learn, that's all. Like Mrobert said, people think easy solutions, like bomb arabs, Alaska has millions of yrs of oil. How do you explain it to them????
My mom looks at me like I have 3 heads when I mentioned it, like most people she says "the oil companies will get more." WTF

I am a newcomer here, but I read as much of the info posted here I can. I worked in the supply boat industry GOM until 2000, but never really researched PeakOil. I take what I learned to help me first and if people want to listen, good for them.

[VMarcHart]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('AlexdeLarge', 'S')o if the doomers are correct...

[hardtootell]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Munqi', 'I')ve tried talking about this with my family and friends but so far no one has really been interested. They listen, they say they agree, but it just really doesnt sink in. For some reason they just dont understand that the world could possibly change. So i would say try to educate people, but if they dont listen then move on.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BigTex', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('allenwrench', 'D')on't know if 100X is true. But you are correct with the 'tudes. We all have a personality and have to do the best we can with the various personalities in the world. Sometime we type things we would not say in person. just good to think sometime how our words affect others.
