A billion of those people doesnt equal the ONE engineer who comes up with a battery to end the fossil fuel addiction.

Agrarian based feudalism wont return by being introduced...if people dont want it.

An introduction doesnt necessarily yeild a marriage.

You'd like James Howard Kunstler's book 'The Long Emergency'.

what was it that Marx said?

The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.

I'm pretty sure. Isn't that how all the environmentalists want us to live? Just give up industrialized life, I think it was. They never say that out loud, but you can tell...

Supposedly we're at 50% oil remaining in our ground. The rate of consumption is growing.
