Was talking about A Crude Awakening with someone and one of the things that came up was the fact that undeniably, the worlds oil is going to run out at some point. From now until then it's going to continue getting more difficult to extract and produce. With this in mind, it's believed by some that the possibility is very real that the grandchildren of our children will never have the opportunity to fly in an airplane.

Think about that for a second.. think of how much fuel and oil a plane takes to fly around. Now, think of extremely strained resource levels and space exploration. Think of how big a chunk of resources a rocket takes to get up into space. It's frightening.

So the question is..

I guess it depends on who gets elected as next President

I respect the hell out of you and most all of your opinions, but... it does?

I think it's pretty naive to think that the presidential election going one way or another is going to affect the growing global oil crisis and focus on alternative sources of energy/oil.

I was going to say that (minus the respect part) but figured I'd get slammed for it.

I'm just guessing here, but based on the prominent " " at the end of her comment, I'd say that it was a bit tongue-in-cheek. At least that's the way I read it.

My bad then. Just upgraded to Firefox 3 and forgot to enable my sarcasm filter.

I think Lalanae's avatar is photoshopped.

Where is the "Who gives a shit, I'll be dead" option?

That plug-in may not be updated yet.

Glad someone had the snap to know I was being sarcastic.

My snap is being overworked at the moment.

Oh snap!
