We had a civil war in the U.S., millions of people died, was not genocide. Wars happen.

Drum comment...watch out... Yes, and RockyMtnGuy, a retired petroleum business analyst with approximately the same 36 years of experience as Rockman, agrees that "we" will have enough oil to last us for the rest of our lives. However, you have to realize that "we" may not include "you". Personally, I'm heavily invested in oil sands, gold mines, and railroads, not to mention liquor stores, so I think I'm covered. But that's just me. I live within walking distance of all the stores and facilities I need (including 150 MW of hydro plants and a forest full of firewood). If all else fails I'll just sit here in my airy abode in the Canadian Rockies and go out to collect firewood from time to time. However, for people who are not prepared for the consequences of peak oil, it may not be so easy. A friend of mine was complaining today on Facebook how much it cost him to fill up his Subaru, and he's a cardiac surgeon! Another friend, who used to be an oil company VP, sold his Subaru and bought a bottom-of-the-line BMW because it got better fuel economy. When the cardiac surgeons and oil company VP's are complaining about how much it costs to fill up a four-cylinder Subaru, you know that Joe Sixpack, driving the Ford 150 4x4 pickup with the extra-large V8, is starting to hurt real bad. theoildrum.com
