Of course no one will 'vote' for Global Warming (and I was about to abbreviate that as 'GW'- fine irony, hmm?) or Peak Oil. Those possibilities are both unnerving to say the least. Unfortunately, we're taking the 'monster in the closet' approach. Keep the door closed, and as long as I can't SEE it, we're OK.

As a kid, I loved listening to the stories my grandparents would tell. I simply couldn't fathom some of the things from the Great Depression. Their stories from WWII were equally fascinating. The notion of gas rationing, and 'drives' for various raw materials seemed quaint. Buying bonds for a greater purpose was curious.

Want to bet these things rear their ugly heads?

So far the only Global Warming apparent to many people in the U.S. is warmer and shorter winters. Many would vote in favor of that.

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
