   It's not time's fault when Idiots go in the  wrong direction - so instead of   
   time, THEY are the ones who need to stand still, turn around, and go in the   
   right direction!   
      
   > what if " right " happens to be doing more with less  ?   
      
   Depends, on doing more What, and with less What.

   The problem isn't to little oil, although we should be using better   
   alternatives, but then how is an 'invasion' from some other  planet going to   
   be FAKED ala that Stupid movie 'Independence' Day? In any case, there's more   
   than enough oil...but the  Real problem is that there are TOOOOOO many   
   people, DESTROYING the Quality of ALL Life, no matter how abundant the oil   
   supply may be!!!

   We should be using something better, but there are Robber Barons with major   
   interests, and therefore Conflicts of interest, in so- called 'fossil   
   fuels', who Need us to keep using them...the Bonesmen Bush family comes to   
   mind.

   Depends on what that would mean, because when I was an adolescent in the   
   '60s but that didn't mean I was an immature person merely because I'd been   
   trippin' 'round the sun less times than I have now ;)
