<Will lights go out in India?> In which country/s will the lites NOT go out? I say NONE! Anyone want to challange this prediction with FACTS? The most popular activity next year, and, perhaps the only doable one with the lites out worldwide, will be sex and baby-making! (without electricity, etc., not too many stores selling profilactics will be open....). The Vatican will love that! Population 0 group will mass protest wherever they can find gas! (meaning they will not mass protest anywhere). The Latinas per family baby-hatching stats will increase from 10 to 25! Chinese from 1 to 11! Jews from 1.5 to 15! Lites out with boredom substitutes is non-discriminatory! Lotta kiddies will be born at home, without medical care, sufficient baby food, pure drinking water...From their parents, instead of hearing the disgusting "goo-goos" ,ad naseum, they will hear (but not understand)...."Honey! dammit, you promised that you would store extra diapers...ok, so start cutting up your evening dresses"!!!!! Thought the post-war baby boom group was large, wait till you see the post-electricity baby boom group!
