That's not fair. There's a humungous amount of good reading material out there and we all have real lives to lead. :wink:

Good find, Biff, thanks.

Heh heh.

Post number nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight contains this link, which is a heartfelt review of a retiring lecturer's career and development and will interest many on this board.

Quite a long article but there's much I can sympathise with.
The collapse of western culture will ultimately be a collapse of money and infrastructure, but it is being led by a collapse of the human spirit. The infrastructure collapse will nevertheless be spectacular, and it’s going to be shocking and horrifying to a great many people who are unprepared for it and who resist any attempt to raise consciousness about its looming inevitability. Do you remember that awful day not long ago when the northern part of India experienced a widespread failure of the electrical grid that left 370,000,000 people without power in sweltering heat? That’s more than the combined populations of the United States and Canada. The following day, a more extensive grid failure left 800,000,000 people in the dark. That wasn’t a one-time, fluke event: that’s India’s future. Moreover, it’s our future — and it won’t be long in coming.
Oh, and it was published about two weeks ago. But Ralph, you've probably already read it. :lol: :lol:

"DoD might be forced by circumstances to put its broad resources at the disposal of civil authorities to contain and reverse violent threats to domestic tranquility. Under the most extreme circumstances, this might include use of military force against hostile groups inside the United States. Further, DoD would be, by necessity, an essential enabling hub for the continuity of political authority in a multi-state or nationwide civil conflict or disturbance."

They going to cut off the supply of weed? :evil:

Au contraire. They're going to decrim it so that people will be too mellow to fight :D
