i didn't know where else to post this, so... here it is, and i don't mean to be a bringer-of-doom-and-gloom, but i WOULD like to get some responses on this issue... open up some kind of dialogue with some fellow travel-lovers, because this is an issue that has been on my heart and mind for a good 4 years or so now, but now, the media, mainstream and otherwise (although the 'independent' publications generally have much better, more thoroughly researched and more comprehensively honest articles, by far!) are starting to wake up to the phenomenon. and it continues to freak me out, to make me want to mourn out of some egotistical sense of 'ohhh woe is meee, i've just wanted to travveellll for the whole of my life' - but then i take a deep breath, and my heart stirs, and goes back to its (appropriate) mourning for the fate of Humanity itself, and that is where it should be...


now, i know that there are people from all political bents here, all forms of spirituality (and lack thereof), people who feel any number of things in regards to the actions of the human species (esp. as of late). however, somethin' tells me that the vast majority of us on here have, in some way or another, stumbled upon some... higher form of thinking, or at the very least, are much more OPEN to events, people, occurrences, and even on into the validity of spiritual/cultural beliefs of both our own culture and others - all of this often as a result of our traveling (or perhaps our travels are more of a reflection of these mindsets already implanted? who knows, perhaps it is simply concentric). as such, we are more globally-minded than the average neighbour down the street who obsesses about the false green of his perfectly manicured lawn. we KNOW, man... that this is only the mattrrixxx (or something).

however, fellow-travelers still have any number of opinions and thoughts (all good and intelligent, i am sure) - what are yours on the phenomena that is 'peak oil'? from a personal perspective, from a 'NO WAY, MAN, GO THE F&$* AWAY AND HUG A TREE!!', to just about... anything. let's hear it

namaste, blessed b,
