When the powers that be decide they need what's left to support the ruling class we are all screwed. There are currently two classes of people on earth rich and screwed as this becomes a wider divide there will be slaves and gov (big biz) I am no survival guy nor do I give a rodents arse about it all. But I think as I said before no reason to refuse all comfort I can afford to give myself and my family.

If you choose not to be responsible with the environment that your choice! but saying that its over that we are all done for!!! is ridiculous!

Really ? Ok if you say so.

(because ummm, we live in Miami Beach...)

HEY! How many environmentalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? ANSWER: "That's not funny!"

Thats your Earth day yearly routine?

Happy early Earth Day! For this earth day, I have released a bunch of aerosols into the atmosphere to help bring down the earth's fever. I know I am only one person, but I made a difference to me. Please do your part, and share here what you have done lately to celebrate our dear mother earth

I bought a Prius! It's manufacture put more hydrocarbons into the air than I ever could with my 69 Road Runner. Just in case though, I had the Prius crushed so It can be made into a Chevy Volt. Meanwhile I am driving the Road Runner with lead added into the fuel (gotta keep those valves lubed) to the Fisker dealer because I heard they are on special.

I changed the oil in my truck and SUV and recycled it in my backyard instead of throwing it away at the gas station.

Ha! Shades of the pigtail light bulb (which apparently should come with a complementary hazmat suit). I think before Fisker goes belly up they should build a free car for each and every person in America that stood up their company (or at least our share of the up front money). You gotta love stimulating another country's economy while America is looking more like a banana republic every day. Oh well, guess I'll have to make a daquari out of my banana. Boat drinks, boys in the band ordered boat drinks, visitors scored on the the home rink! Silly hippies, global warming is a hoax!

Heck, Geezer and some of the rest of you have been up to his earlobes in the white stuff for the last eight months! What's up with that?

Your probably referring to Alzheimers, but that whole Aluminium thing coursing it is a myth.
Aluminium oxide is one of the main parts of dirt/earth, kind of hard to avoid the stuff.
