Do you really believe the price of oil will go down if our population continues to increase? - Roger J. Wendell, September 2007

Welcome to the Anthropocene epoch!
Human activity has significantly altered/damaged planet Earth...

"Without major catastrophes like an enormous volcanic eruption, an unexpected epidemic, a large-scale nuclear war, an asteroid impact, a new ice age, or continued plundering of Earth's resources by partially still primitive technology (the last four dangers can, however, be prevented in a real functioning noösphere) mankind will remain a major geological force for many millennia, maybe millions of years, to come. To develop a world-wide accepted strategy leading to sustainability of ecosystems against human induced stresses will be one of the great future tasks of mankind, requiring intensive research efforts and wise application of the knowledge thus acquired in the noösphere, better known as knowledge or information society. An exciting, but also difficult and daunting task lies ahead of the global research and engineering community to guide mankind towards global, sustainable, environmental management"

- Paul J. Crutzen, Max-Planck-Institute for Chemistry, Division of Atmospheric Chemistry

Peak Oil:
"No amount of corn is going to save the Happy Motoring utopia..."

"Evidence now conclusively shows that Saudi Arabia's oil production was down 8 percent in 2006 over 2005, even while the number of oil rigs went up substantially -- indicating that the Kingdom is drilling as fast as it can and still losing ground. (Production slipped from 9.9 million-barrels-a-day to about 8.4 mm/b/d.) Mexico's Cantarell field is crashing (minimum 15 percent annual decline and possibly much steeper rate, meaning in a year or two the US will cease getting oil imports from its number two foreign supplier). The North Sea is crashing, too. Russia is about to show steep decline. Iran is past peak. Iraq, as every six-year-old knows, is the world's clusterfuck poster child. Indonesia (OPEC member) is now a net oil importer. Venezuela is past peak and full of loathing for the US. Nigeria is collapsing politically. No amount of corn is going save the Happy Motoring utopia, and that's really all our economy is now based on."

USA Patriot Act
CNN, March 9, 2007: "The FBI is guilty of 'serious misuse' of the power to secretly
obtain private information under the Patriot Act, a government audit said Friday."

War is Over (If You Want It)

"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law. We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men -- not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular."

- Edward R. Murrow from his March 9, 1954 broadcast in regards to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

Quote Quiz:

Which famous person said this?
"I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means."

Quote of the Quarter:

 
 We, who can still hear the jaguar scream,
 We dream of a day when all things wild will again be free.
 We long for a time when every species will be loved
 and honored equally. It is a dream we may never see fulfilled.
 But in answer to our own wild hearts, 
 It is a dream we will fight for 
 until the day we die.
(From the back cover of the May-June 2001 Earth First! Journal)
