????? Post peak? Did I miss something RGR? I must say, I have only skipped OVER your posts for the last 6 months or so. I guess this was a peak. Not sure you should be so sure that it is THE peak though... 8) That's a point, didn't RGR used to have a signature listing all the previous peak oils? Wh...

Huh, I recently got a second hand electro-acoustic guitar from a friend for £50, very good quality for the price and sounds sweet too. That one seems far too expensive if you have never played a guitar before imo.

My score:

Economic Left/Right: -1.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.92


From last time I did this I seem to have moved up by about 4 and right about 3. Last time I did it I was in line with Gandhi but much lower towards the libertarian end of the scale.

Have we missed the boat on this one? I ask because while talking to my Granddad yesterday he mentioned that we 'would be on Mars by the end of the century', I think he may have even meant living, or at least have a colony on there.

What's your level of optimism about solutions compared to us oldies? Depends on the day doesn't it? :lol: I know industrial society can't continue in it's present form but have no idea what might follow it, be it a more localised ultimately poorer economy or the full on doom that some people seem t...

18 here.

I alternate between the bottom three, some days I think maybe me or my family can pull through this if we do something. Other days I'm more hopeful that as a community we can pull through and transition to something better, then other days I will have a foreboding feeling that everything will collap...
