And just think... we're on day 52... and they're saying 120 days to fix it, or so.

Should be no problem at all.  Especially when they're trying to fix it during hurricane season. 

Is it the beginning of our self-made apocalypse? (You know, like a real one, not a fairy tale one.)  Is THIS going to be the thing that gets us off oil?  Will we have any choice?  Will we survive?  Can we survive today without oil - fertilizers, pesticides, medicines, plastic(!), and pretty much everything that makes the world "go" round - is dependent upon oil.  Can we live without the lower part of the food chain known as seafood?  How big? 

Very, very rich people (a comparatively small number of people, but an objectively very large group in the millions) control the vast, vast majority of wealth and resources available on our planet.  But they do so because each of us gave them a little bit of the wealth we were given, over and over again.  In other words, they got rich via the industrial-capitalist system which brought us the products we so deeply believed we wanted and needed. 
A system most of us would defend, with blood if we believed it was necessary, while waving red white and blue star spangled banners.  And before you think you wouldn't kill to defend your beliefs, try following your tax dollars.  See what you (and your children, and children's children) are actually (going to be) paying for (for generations to come, if we aren't bankrupt). 



WAR. 


And war, of course, as we all have known deep down inside, is about oil. 

Love it or not, this is your world.
