    You know - sometimes I really think there may still be a future. Just maybe a bit different. Get rid of all that nasty oil based stuff. It pollutes, it causes wars, it's horrible.


    Without the discovery of oil, we would now be scratching round looking for wood.
    And if we couldn't find enough to support the population, we would be f*cked.

    Now we are reliant on oil, what happens if we can't find enough?

    Its not truly feasible...not on the scale of the number of people we have to feed now,not in the way we eat. 9 Of course, I accept that can change too)...horses need to eat more the more they do too.

    I really don't understand why people aren't angrier about this. You will spend the rest of your lives paying this off and you don't care enough even to look beyond voting for the same people that let this happen to you!


    I am, I'm bl**ding livid. I feel helpless about it all too.

    I believe Michelangelo was laughed at when he said the world was round. And what about when Da Vinci discovered Australia? The great thinkers have always been mocked.

    I am reasonably confident that my time will come.

    It's always good to go with your own ideas.

    "Gut feeling" some people call it.

    There's a rumour rewired has been following me around. I can't see who's thanking me due to my connection setup.

    I won't bother any more then. :p
