I've said stuff about Peak Oil in the past. Now we've finally hit mainstream
media and attention. If you haven't taken steps yet. You better get with it.
I'm not talking Y2K where nobody knew what's going to happen. But a predictable
decline in resources, especially oil which affects supplies delivery and the
supplies themselves. Our culture and lifestyle is where you need to imagine
radical change in appearance and operation in our lifetime. More difficult for
your kids. The unknowns are how fast or slow a decline. But where we are
going, or the eventual outcome is clear. Not trying to scare anyone, just make
it in your long term plans how you and your family will get by. We've been
spoiled for a really long time. The party's about over. You are not going to
be able to depend on the usual outlets nor continuous supplies. There's no one
to blame. And you're on your own. The gov't won't be able to keep it all
afloat or working (think Katrina). You'll have to depend on yourself and
whatever you can create yourself or with your neighbors, networks, and local
communities. This ain't gonna happen over night, but neither will what you
need to create and who you need to connect with.
love,
Craig Miller
