Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I was rude enough to not make my first post hear so I apologize to anyone who is annoyed by that.
I found peak oil by googling algae oil after seeing a picture in Time Mag of a greenhouse growing algae in vertical plastic bags claiming to be a viable alternative to oil.
I must say this is a very interesting site with a wide range of viewpoints and much to consider.
As to myself. I am an retired redneck that is about to become an empty nester. I grew up on the place I now own and my father farmed it with horse power only. In the 60s peace corp trainees were sent to our farm to learn which end of a cow the milk comes from before they went off to Africa to solve the worlds problems. I am a hunter, a hand loader, a wood burner and believe that a wise Vermonter lives more by lack of expense then from income. I hope to have many useful and entertaining conversations with many of you here.

I think you have much to teach us here. Mind if I borrow this quote for my signature line for awhile? _________________ "When men yield up the privilege of thinking, the last shadow of liberty quits the horizon."

Its not mine!! I stole it. Some book of Vermont humor written by a Dartmouth proffessor that lived on the Vermont side of the river. It is old enough to be public domain but use at your own peril.
