Here's something beyond the energy crisis that is quite ominous, IMHO: Message 21064231 In the introduction to "Powerdown", Richard Heinberg cites a 2003 news article about the irreversible depletion of large predatory fish communities to warn that the oceans may be dying. This is another trend that cannot be sustained. Humanity seems poised to destroy the planet in order to maintain pointlessly large surpluses of useless humans. I don't believe any human being is "surplus" or "worthless". I believe that our leaders (past and present) and our apathetic and willfully ignorant citizenry bear a large portion of responsibility for the dilemma we're in, but I do not feel like I am in any position to label any individual or group of individuals "useless". The Nazi's did that in the 1930's to European Jews whom they considered a 'surplus' population. See Richard Rubenstein's "The Cunning of History" - one of the best books I read in High School.
