“Any coward can fight a battle when he's sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he's sure of losing. That's my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat.”

"Therefore they are just thrashing around demanding to be bailed out, demanding SOMEONE to make everything better, looking for someone to blame and burn at the stake."
Oh, my God! I just described pre-WWII Germany. Oh, sh*t.
Wow, how much more proof do you need to know that we're going to become a Nazi state?
Seriously, weren't you just pontificating about the lack of critical reasoning abilities?
"'Therefore they are just thrashing around demanding to be bailed out, demanding SOMEONE to make everything better, looking for someone to blame and burn at the stake.'

On which note, isn't it reassuring to know that Britain's most repellant political party (featured in: "BNP: No real commitment to energy issues by Labour!") is at the forefront of warning of the consequences of peak oil. They will certainly find someone to blame - probably anyone they don't classify as British.
doctorbob, you beat me to it.
For US readers, the BNP is the British Nationalist Party, a very right wing and very Peak Oil aware political party.
If things get bad maybe many more people won't find it so repellent ... they didn't in pre-war Germany. :-(
Xeroid.
Heck - even VERY right wing doesn't state it...
...BNP leaders have sympathized with the Nazis on many occasions and their candidates often run on the idea that people with brown skin should be "sent back where they came from"
This is why it is worrying that mainstream politicians ignore Peak Oil, to me. Cos when people like the BNP start being right people will start asking, well what else are they right about.
