The Dreamtime

- James Howard Kunstler -

Are you purposely ignorant? When JHK talks about doing things by hand does it mean that society as a whole must go back to shucking oysters and planting potatoes by hand when he talks about people getting back to working with their hands rather than depend on all of their food being shipped from 4000 miles away? I don’t think so. While I vocally oppose the totally debunked theory of man-made global warming I happen to agree that it would be a good thing for people to start working a plot of land and growing some of their own food if for no other reason than to avoid at least a portion of the GMO crap we get at the super market. I don’t know where you live but have you ever traveled through the low priced real estate parts of a metropolis like New York or LA? If you had you would understand that what JHK is saying here has value. Ask yourself this, if the cities are such bloody great places why do so many people that have their domicile within them take so many vacations someplace other than a big city? Why are tours to the California vineyards, and why are so many RV rental companies, doing gangbuster business? People want to get out of the city even if it’s only for a few weeks. Sure, they have to work in these hell holes but ask them where they would rather live. You already know the answer.

Why do you continually hate on the man so? What the hell has he done that no matter what he says you go ape shit every time he posts. How long are you going to carry this grudge. You act like a teen age girl, on a vendetta to take apart some other teen girls life because she kissed the first girls boyfriend.

Did JHK hit to close to the mark and you took it personally when he posted “These days, surely, the idea of physical labor in the sorghum rows is abhorrent to a 325-pound food-stamp recipient lounging in an air-conditioned trailer engrossed in the televised adventures of Kim Kardashian and her celebrated vagina while feasting on a KFC 10-piece bundle and a 32 oz Mountain Dew.” Look around you, how much of the US population falls into or very near this category of lay about? You take issue with JHK and keep bringing up the fact that the world is not at nor have we passed peak oil. Ok, I agree with you but you keep missing one point that I mentioned in a response to you in another post where you were ranting about this. While the world still has lots of oil, what’s it going to cost you for a gallon of gas in five years from now when the Chinese, Russians, and others in their group have locked up the supply? Yes, Australia may be sitting on supposed trillions of gallons of the black stuff but in the link you gave it talked about how expensive the lifting costs were, did you even read the whole article or simply look at the picture? Do you ever give any thought to the process and the costs involved or do you take a simple childish look at it and say ‘there’s lots of oil, we won’t run out’? I’m sure there are many more as of yet undiscovered as well as many discovered but covered up deposits of conventional and non-conventional oil. The big question is simply how much will it cost you to get any of it in the future? If you had to pay $8 a gallon would you start to think that JHK was onto something? How about $15 or $35 a gallon, would that make you start growing your own food and permanently park the SUV unless there was an emergency? What effect would those kinds of prices have on the people who are unfortunate enough to live in large cities? That’s right, stop thinking today or tomorrow and start thinking about next year or the next five years.

So far you have never posted anything to provide contrary evidence to what JHK says, you simply find some point to rage about. Raging like an idiot only proves one thing, he’s right and your wrong.

Good grief grow up already.

Beginning of the headline :The idea that techno-industrial society is headed toward a collapse has become very unpopular the last couple of years. Thoughts (and fears) about it have been replaced by a kind of grand redemption fantasy that bears the same relation to economics that masturbation has to pornography. One way to sum up the current psychological state of the nation is that an awful lot of people who ought to know better don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground anymore... Read More
