$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('oowolf', 'A')ll those presently pathologically dependent on petroindustrial civilization will be utterly incapable of adapting to a life where they have to do real work. When the prehistoric slaves that we've been buying so cheaply go away we'll see a wave of real mass suicide.
I don't know anybody who lives in the REAL world--you know, the one humans have lived in for 100,000's of years. The good ole USA is populated with whiney, obese, consumeroid zombies who wont last a day without the petroluem nipple. Compared to your average Neadertal we're a bunch of clueless retards-emotional and intellectual infants who've lived our entire lives in the petroindustrial womb.
The native people see suicide as the only rational response to the sucking cancer of greed, destruction, and wanton waste that OUR "lifestyle" (<oxymoron, for sure) is inflicting on them.
Relax, this air-conditioned nightmare (the good life) is about to go away, taking 5 or so billion with it.
You sound like a rabid fundementalist preacher denouncing your congregation as a "generation of vipers".
Have a little faith in your fellow man, and the resiliance of your civilisation.
The grotesqueries and dissoluteness of the last two or three generations have not changed the tough, resourceful and co-operative people we are underneath.
You are in for a pleasant surprise I think. When the scales of fake materialsm fall from our eyes other people are all we have, we will treasure them more than ever before and find great solace in them, and goodness too. That is my belief.
