our life, as we know it is unsustainable, so all the better we would be

Buckley understands the importance of oil. Whether he likes it or not, it still doesn't take away from the truth. We should always be seeking what is TRUE:)

If you were to take away oil, our life, as we know it, would not be possible.

[greatbookie]

...It follows, then, that we should be very nice to the people who sit atop the oil reserves -- like Coloradons.

@ahuimanu69

I understand how important "oil" is. But I also understand how important it is to not be so dependant on it because of how dependant we are on it. If you are dependant on something, especially when it can be destructive(as seen in the gulf,) then we are slaves to it.

[thedavidwilson]

@DoNotBeHighandMighty Right on! We should be dependent on solar, wind, pixy dust and government subsidies.

Hope and Change!

it's amazing that people still don't understand how important oil is, and how much longer it will be.
