How will you survive?

[craigb]

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in, singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think it's a movement.
And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacree Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar.
With feeling.....

Bloody old Hippie.

You know, I saw Arlo Guthrie on TV a year or so ago. He looked like a retired accountant.

That was a bloody good song. I've got it on vinyl somewhere

As for all the other $hit - mate I'm not living my life worried about stuff that won't happen. That is just plain stupid.

[Cliff Rogers]

That was a bloody good song. I've got it on vinyl somewhere ...

I have it on CD, it is about the best thing I know of to sort out a head problem in 25 minutes.

[Christopha]

Well, it was serious question....

Just how long is it going to take Al and the object of his sexual desires to tow his tools and his new found scaffold to the job that won't exist? How long will it take the electric company to find and fix the fault with their horse drawn van? Who will bring Zed his bananas all the way from Queensland in their bullock dray? How do I fit shafts for the horse to my Nissan? What will power your Triton routers and your Jet tablesaws? Come to think of it, what will a horse be worth and how will you keep it in suburbia when most of your neighbours will want to eat the thing??

I was serious.............

[Cliff Rogers]

Well, it was serious question.......I was serious.............

Want to borrow my Arlo Guthrie CD for half an hour?

[Christopha]

[Harry72]

I'll change my name to Aurther Dent!

[chrisb691]

I'll head for Chistopha's place. He started the thread.......he must have a plan.





This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's
Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.......dum de dum de dah

[Gumby]

I was serious.............

So was I

The question about energy and peak oil, is not actually an issue about fuel. Like most things in life it is a question about economics, or more succinctly $$.

There is plenty of fuel to generate energy, it's just a matter of upsetting various apple carts.

For example, nuclear (like it or hate) has the potential to generate more than enough electricity for Oz (and NZ) forever, and we have the largest uranium deposits.

We also have huge natural gas reserves for cars or they can use batteries as above.

Trucks and all diesel engines can easily be converted to run on many alternate fuels, used cooking oil, ethanol mixes etc. Solar, wind etc are all alternative power sources, they just cost too much and the existing big businesses have been slow to get a slice in them.

There's no crisis, just a matter of increased costs for energy.

The crisis is for the established providers of energy, the established automobile manufacturers and the oil companies et al.

These pillars of the establishment have probably generated the current hoo hah to soften us up for big price rises whilst they scramble to monopolise the new energy sources

Look on the bright side, once oil is remaindered, no-one will give two monkeys for the Middle East. They can all just be left to it. Probably last about a week.

if you beleive all that it is already too late for you

To do what?

If there's one thing I've learned it's that it's pointless worrying about something that you have no control over.

I suppose you could build a straw bale house or something, but at the end of the day you'd just end up snotted like everyone else.

Que sera sera.

I have it on CD, it is about the best thing I know of to sort out a head problem in 25 minutes.

Picked up the DVD the other day, couldn't resist, great movie better music.

But as to stoppers post why the first thing I would do is get my shovel out and dig up that bit of pvc tube I buried a while back.

I made a start by getting out of Sydney. That's not a place you want to be when the shyte hits the fan.

Bring it on I say. I've been planning for it for years...
