While I may point out the fact, every civilization has had its rise and fall, and I fear that trend wont truly end, but will be delayed. All good things will come to an end eventually, even us, but I will say that we have managed to sustain and maintain our current lifestyle and way of life quite well… with a few exceptions. The grim fact and future remains that fossil fuels will only last so long till this big ball of mud is empty of oil and we’re left to find an alterative, and if none is found soon enough, when the great deletion does hit, being unprepared will result in a great deal of panic and disarray, and while the more optimistic of people will say there was nothing to be done to prevent it, let me be on record to oppose.
