It's pretty amazing to have the privilege of knowing about this in advance - and being at a site named after the phenomenon, to boot." |

While the Bush administration enjoys playing the fool on the subject of global warming, the polar bears aren't laughing.
The last 8 years have been damaging enough. |

PStarr POed about gallons per mile boats[/quote]Thanks man. I do appreciate your rant appreciation. I don't have much energy to debate details anymore. Did we peak? What does it all mean? Where should I live? How do I prepare? The f*ck knows 
My contributions are now mostly limited to pre-coffee morning and post-booze evening rants when the superego shutter rises a bit.

Are there alternatives? Yes. All of them involve making do with less, and therein lies the rub. We don't want less. We want more. But less is what we're going to get. So we flail, and blame, and search for a messiah to save us. |

I looked her straight in the eye and told her the truth: "I'm stockpiling supplies in preparation for the coming collapse of civilization." It shut her fat face up directly. |
