"being outside all day, fighting for something that matters"!!

I'd rather be a bum than work @ Wal Mart or contribute to corporations and government in any way, shape, or form.. Now if only I wasn't addicted to all the 'heroinformation' on the net.

I got to say, I think he is going too far by saying 'people'. I dont think he can speak for people in general, that is going too far. I know happy people who work, consume, have families, and are really happy. I think he doesnt need to argue that the world is wrong, its just his place in the world that needed adjusting.

Probably the most insightful writer on the internet.

I find this interesting. I've read his site many, many times before, and I agree with most of what he says. I've never heard him speak or seen him in motion before and although he looks and sounds a little creepy, he makes tons of sense, not just in this video, but on his website as well.

@EmperorMarcusNovius you sound like a budding fascist, the govt pays people so little on welfare. Not one of those people wants that situation, and I bet if you talked to them, many would have a damn good reason for being the way they are. The employed are lucky that the employed are payed by the govt, currently, if the unemployed weren't, America wouldn't be able to hide the fact it's in a Great Depression

It's like he's licking the inside of my ears.

The mad max scenario could probably only play out for a couple of months because gasoline degrades so quickly. Diesel lasts a bit longer but still wouldn't be much use after 3-6 months in storage.

I've prepared by converting my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a film about the changes I made..It's called,"Preparing for Peak Oil"....

Douglas Adams isn't great. I suspect that the only reason people like him is because he was a pioneer at catering to the kind of nonsensical lolrandum sense of humour that every 12 year old now possesses.

Pfffff...c'mon buddy. He's hardly handing cups of kool-aid and collecting salvation taxes...
