Well gosh I was all ready to go out and buy a hummer since the oil bubble had very clearly burst the last couple of days and the price was supposed to go back down to something reasonable. Why is it going up again?! I bet it's speculators, or communists... or hippies. Yeah, definitely those environmentalist hippies, it's all their fault. /sarcanol :)
Sliding dollar. Lack of investment. Resource nationalism. OPEC cartel power politics. Above ground factorzzz. Sure thing.
Thank you, thank you very much...
How to explain peak oil to everybody
If the person is an Aging Hippie:
What to say: "You were right about everything. Absolutely everything. Growing your own food. Renewable energy. The economy. Drugs. How sexy greying ponytails are. Not trusting old people ... oh wait ..." Well, almost everything.
What to suggest: Stop looking so smug.

I got no dime, but I got some time to hear your story...
...I'll get up and fly away...
I know that the life I'm livin's no good...I'll get a new start, live the life I should...
The one I'm listening to right now, and that applies to our current "leadership" is..."If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind"
Hah! Stop looking so smug: I got a chuckle out of that one. As we've discussed here before though, it doesn't necessarily help you in the court of public opinion if you were right, but at the wrong time! They'll still think you're nuts.
*edit* I moved my nytimes clipping to lower in the thread.
Cassandra Dee Rat runs into that problem all the time.
Never trust anyone over 68. You have to adjust the limit from time to time.
