How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Not been here here long as my hydrocarbon rating will testify but is there a way of threading the Forums. Or does every single post whether replying to the initial post or not go to the back of the queue.
Surely a threaded format would promote and stimulate debate.

The Future is History
Threading does help sometimes. Personally, I find them somewhat tedious and thats why I like phpbb-like forums where you can just quote the person you are responding to. Also this helps to keep the page looking decent. When people go on and on on the same topic it pushes the conversation over to the right of the screen in no time.
My suggestion, since there are only 15 posts to a page, is to scan for quotes that you are looking for. You could even search using the 'find' feature of your browser. I suggest the free Mozilla Firefox, if you don't have it. _________________ "If you are a real seeker after truth, it's necessary that at least once in your life you doubt all things as far as possible"-Rene Descartes
