Did Einstein factor in the availability of small paintbrushes when he derived his bee theory?

I think I've heard that hand pollination is far less effective than insect pollination. Not sure how well humans would do pollinating vast fields of corn or wheat or rice.

...or the forests we rely on for oxygen, erosion resistance, clean water... all the indirect things besides food.

Oil comapies cant raise prices, for profts, if they want to with or without peak oil, if they do governments will be forced to order swiching to alternative fuels, to keep the econmy going, peak oil is real this time around, definetly. You're still right not to trust those bastards though.

BLESSINGS YOUR WAY !

It helps to remember WHO has the power: the moneyed elite, and the corporations. Congress, by and large, does their bidding. It makes no sense in terms of the planet, its people, democracy. But it makes perfect sense to those immersed in an economy based on infinite growth--an economy that cannot continue. Hang in there!

You're absolutely right -- it ain't FAIR! You're more aware than many, and there's a price for being ahead of the curve. You are a model for others. When gas prices go up, you'll pay less. Or maybe you'll be the first in your neighborhood to develop car-sharing.

Last year, the congress voted against mandatory MPG, voted for drilling for oil in the Artic Nat Wildlife Refuge, Ford dropped its hybrid ideas, and what else - drilling off the coast I think? In one week, they said we don't need to control consumption but we need more oil. IT MADE NO SENSE TO ME. I was nearly ready to have an aneurysm.
