Are you referring to my comments regarding the end of oil or the rights
of pedestrians and bicyclists?

No, we will drop very far, but land in a relatively comfortable position,
considering good health care and lots of other niceties don't take much
energy.

If we have to give up tractors and petroleum based fertilizers, we'll be
dropping farther than you might think.

Non-petrol agriculture is a really interesting topic to me. If you cut out
grain fed meat and processed, and grow a big garden, that is most of our
agriculture. Also I think farming is an ideal application for alternative
energy. I'm thinking some kind of center-pivot system fed by electricity.
I think the best hobby that could sweep America would be aerobic gardening.
I envision a single-row human powered tiller.

Then there is the sustainable bio-fueled farm machine that even manufactures
its replacement and manufactures fertilizer - the horse. It worked for my
dad.

So...what you're telling me is that I can only enjoy driving my
Corvette for the next 30 years or so?

Sorry about your penis.

Sometimes a pencil is just a pencil, you know....do you also think
that people who collect firearms are in need of psycoanalysis?

Yeah, especially when it gets recalled by the factory.

My phallic substitute is safe; I drive a '96 Corvette, and the recall
starts with the '97s.

Um, make that "psychoanalysis". That'll teach me the folly of not
spellchecking even short replies.
