I dunno... have to look it up.

That's probably it.
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

I'm obviously missing something here...

It has been said before, but peak oil awareness isn't necessarily such a blessing; given there's not much that can be done in the short-term, barring a radical reduction in lifestyle- "not negotiable."

For example, as more and more people learn about PO, my ability to capitalize on otherwise "unforeseen" coming events diminishes. (Too bad I don't have the capital to capitalize with.)

We know the major TV media are loathe to cover a story which calls into question the very fundamentals (rampant consumption) of the society they advocate. So the Great Unwashed Tards are still probably at least a couple years from getting this information.

Also, I 'm keen to have my dumbass countrymen be caught completely off-guard by any untoward future events in the oil realm, so as to suffer maximum losses. They deserve to pay for their extreme ignorance and gluttony.

I envision a time, 10 years down the road, when the shit has hit the fan, and most people sorta understand why, or are at least familiar with 'peak oil. ' What will I say to people?...

..."Man, I was researching peak oil back in early 2004. I knew most of this was going to happen, and nobody would listen...I told yall so!"

I wonder if eventually I'll get sick of saying that to idiot after idiot, and just say nothing.

Some time ago I posted "When you see more than 200 guests, then you're at peak".
:lol:
PS Of course I was not meaning "peak guests"... unless Aaron didn't upgrade the server!
