It is starting to become a reality that we face up to the images artists have been conjuring for over 25 years. Mad Max, Road Warrior, and a host of other stories reveling in the lost world caused by oil depletion are becoming predictions of our present rather than a fantasy seen only in the movies. No longer are these predictors looked upon as science fiction. Rather, we are looking at this as science fact. What do we do about it? Middle class America has a tough job ahead. First off is getting organized. Not too many of us have the resources to host such a move and other Americans will likely not want to leave their comfortable mansions for less than their "accustomed" living style. So where is the best place to go? What is the best thing to do? Should we wait for the government? That really helped the American Indians, didn't it? I would like to invite your discussions on this topic myself. I found this site by accident and many never find it again, so pls respond through the email. Long Emergency

Should we wait for the government? That really helped the American Indians, didn’t it?

Once upon a time we dreamed of going to the moon and the stars. Now we dream of a plot of land so we have enough to eat, and a land where we won't be shot for it.
