Living in Interesting Times.
PEAK OIL
It's here, right now, and we are all faced with
Titanic-scale consequences.
Just how will it all play out?
Powerlessness.
An interesting concept.
We should have acted in the 70-80's,
but maybe nobody really believed
this scenario would come to pass.
The sudden awakening of the 00's
to the reality of the tsunami nature of the catastrophes
of over-population, inappropriate technology, profligate consumerism, greed,
power-hungry rulers who fiddle while Rome burns,
biosphere breakdown,
climate change, gross pollution on all levels,
(etc. etc., you know the litany),
is just too late.
Spaceship Earth has too many passengers,
is powered by polluting technologies
controlled by power mongers with agendas
that somehow don't include
the well-being of the passengers and crew.
But of course I/you/we know all this.
Now we reap the whirlwind.
Incoming!
Hold tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride folks.
Prepare for colateral damage.
