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?

I don't think many of us who have made changes to be somewhat self-sufficient are eagerly awaiting a crash so we can put our preparations to the test . I like gas and engines and cars and electricity in those convenient little holes. I'm not a "green" guy who wants to get back to nature and commune with the trees. Furthest thing from it . Hate camping unless it's in a fully equipped travel trailer or winnebago , preferably with a TV and internet dish on top. I can't see everyone reverting to the 1800's when the infrastructure collapses , those energy cats have been out of the bag for a long time . It may be too late (IMHO) to convert to new / renewable energy sources on a large scale but MANY will continue living as they do now . We know how to manufacture small amounts of energy for personal use now , I have solar panels (uninstalled) , and blueprints and permits for energy ethanol production. I just don't see a pressing need to switch over yet , I can still afford 3.00 per gallon gas ...

Your arguments are reasonable and certainly within the realm of possibility carlhole, I also kinda hope your right and we all come out smellin' like a rose.(I got it pretty good). But the pragmatic side of me says PMS is dead on, I've seen NO evidence of either the will or ability of men/woman to take ANY steps to soften the impact of the coming shitstorm. Besides that ,if mankind continues to destroy the planet I'm kinda hoping mother nature gets fed up and bestows a rightous ass-whooping on us regardless. I'm kinda wishing alot of these evil pricks that are screwing everything up get wiped out. Is this wicked of me? _________________ It's the height of rudeness for the stretch polyester pants crowd to foist their tard version of Christ on talmudic scholars.

I voted "yes", with a list of people I wanna see die first. Guess who that might be? The rich. Yeah, you Mr Moneybags, you get to go first, as you caused this problem in the first place.
Man, I do love Peak Oil dot com...such a great place to release my long pent-up anger against the people I have such a passionate hatred towards...hehe. _________________ Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide...

Human misery is never something to be cheered.
karma is a bitch, like it or not. if we continue this degenerative, devolving path towards being the farking disease of the biosphere, we deserve extinction. pain in this case is deserved... and yes, I'm preparing for the possibility of dying before getting to 30 and leave no offpsring behind...
Got a better life form to prepare for, and I hope that my new fellow companions in the Path are less pathetic than this lame excuse of a concious living form that is proud to call themselves "homo sapiens, the center of the universe". You know what? Even if I don't want that Hells exist, I witness acts so evil + the will to not change to be good, that I know this hells must exist. Altough they're not for all eternity, same for heavens; nutty abraham's bitches will have a twisted surprise that there heaven will not last forever. And you know what? They also deserve it, because they want to live in a Heaven for all eternity while a good portion (according to their deluded, childish and ignorant minds) have pain for all eternity in hell...
Is my hope in humanity getting weaker? Well, yes... humans have to probe themselves that they want to change... I just want to pull the trigger on a purge of crappy humans so that survivors start the transition to higher consciousness... if I could just find such a trigger. _________________ anagami.net

I never said I'm enlightened.
I prefer to be on the dead group, not even leaving genes.
I actually said that I'm preparing to die at a young age, what I may not have said is that I've already abandoned the hording materialistic dream of crap.
I'm tired of not finding an enlightened teacher and of not acchieving Nirvana.
I said "Is my hope in humanity getting weaker? Well, yes... humans have to probe themselves that they want to change..." and according to my own Buddhist ideas I still have CONCEIT to defeat.
If I have to die the instant that I pull this trigger I'm more than prepared for this, bring this farking environmental correction!
I still have hope for humanity, it's badly beaten but still there, basically this trigger should give the option: devolve and commit suicide OR evolve and make some though behaviour changes. _________________ anagami.net
