ah...that's a good one...

well...how bad can it really be?
it is just a matter of a most natural resources and how cheap we used to extract them...
and now it is becoming ...rapidly more expensive to extract them than they are worth...literally...
the gain is being dwarfed by the cost...

Now to put it into something tangible...graspable...
everything we make...everything we produce..everything we ship...everything we grow as crops ...everything we wear...
everything ...
is dependant on petroleum and / or its byproducts...
from the creation of essential parts to build machines...
for those machines to function...
for those machines to service or produce for us...
we aren't dependant...
we aren't oil junkies as a species...
we have just allowed the use to become necessity... in and for everything.
and now the pyramid scheme of putting all our eggs in the petroleum products basket is catching up with us...
but it doesn't look especially good.

not that I am "doom and glooming" the entire situation...
it has been leading to this for a long time...
and soooo many have been warning us all...
instead of electing representatives into power who would do the necessary thing...
we all have deliberately elected people to power with the mandate to do what we desire.
so... a big raspberry to those who think I am "doom and glooming"
this is the new Earth and the new politics and the new economy and ecology....and everyone voted this in.
or through a lack of will allowed it , or didn't voice loud enough that we must elect to position people who will divert us from this result....
Not a one of us hasn't benefited or profited from the wholesale plunder of this place...somehow...
So to those who say I am "doom and glooming" or say they didn't vote this planet the way it ended up...

suck it up ...buttercup
the best is yet to come.
