@pucksterz12 too late. the world needs petroleum products. plastic, rubber, and of course gas. its all hanging in the balance. can you see your life with none of the afor mentioned products? me neither. I am personally of the opinion that the whole world is completely fucked. if its not the sudden loss of our supply of just about everything related to petroleum, it will be something else. my solution? I'm not going to have children. they won't have to live through apocalypse that way. :/

the best ever feeling is get buzz, smoke a fat one and jump on a motorcycle,,,TRY IT

[pucksterz12]

I would like to go back to horse back and carriages and give up these mechanical devices. They would be no more need for gas and I would like to see the day that the oil companies go under. Inventions breed greed.
