Catskill,
Once you become POA (Peak Oil Aware) you undergo a major paradigm shift.
Almost nothing is the same any more.

  1. The carefree "cult of comfort" stories that MSM pumps out to the lay public about their PP (Pain at the Pump) now appear as raw propaganda rather than as incisive reporting (we reporterize, you moterize and then decide ... as if, ha, you actually have a functional brain once we get through with you).

  2. Those muscular Hemmi engine Hummers now look like like starving dinasours instead of the engineering marvels they once were.

  3. Wal-Mart is the country too far instead of the local mega-depot for all things consumable.

I liked the old American "Dream" better. Becoming POA killed it for me. Sad. I wish I didn't know. But how do you unring the bell?
