I see much debate and arguments on weather or not peak oil is true.

I just watched the documentary 'End of Suburbia' and it was a very good one. Had me really thinking. However, I hear both sides of this story.

Its a scam. No, its real. Not true, it fills back up. it's almost empty. Its from dino's - blah blah blah.......

I am seeing it like this; What does it matter?

Whatever the game plan is, it is being played now. Our lives will change in the near future. Farming will need to become more local again. Goods from China will fade again. We will return to making our own goods again. We will become communities again.

I think that within the next 10-30 years we will all be very similar to the way life was in the early 1900's - mom and pops corner shop, crops, canning, walking, thinner - more self reliance.

Personally, I think it would be a nice flip back in time. Americans have too much today. We're spoiled.
