By Michael Lardelli, published 13/2/2012

Look, I can't wait for WWIII.

Living in this realm with such sexually insecure and deprived dolts is insufferable. That modern men and women do not understand the Second Law of thermodynamics (that you can't get something from nothing) is astonishing. To wit, you can't make uranium without more diesel than the uranium you collect and refine, you can't compress and transport gas without more oil based industry than the energy youget. You can't build and maintain ANY renewable energy source without oil and coal underwriting them.
And when oil is too expensive the only way for coal to be efficiently used is to return to the steam engine, and an age that clearly supported less than 2 billion people, 5 billion precipitously fewer than now.

When WWIII begins, when oil is only 3 to 4 times more expensive, it won't be raptors, nukes, germs, or tear your world apart.
It will be your next door neighbour, egged on by his wives who have their hearts squarely fixed on prime breeding rights in rapidly shrinking economic vistas.

Then and only then will you bores understand the importance of oil and the significance of population growth INERTIA and its inevitable collision and explosion at the OIL . You will also then belatedly realise that its what women WANT! And if that means the end of the human genome then I don't believe women really give a damn. Its the nature of the beast.

So pull out all the inhibitions and get yer ends in now. OVERPOPULATE AND RUIN THE PLANET or kiss your chances goodbye!

THUS, THE OILY SEEDS OF war ..

KAEP: You are on the right track but I disagree that woman will be the final arbiters. They are too blinkered (mostly, there are a few exceptions) it will be the Alpha male caveman who is dominant.
None of the splinter groups that are grinding their own axes with the exception of a handful of anti population groups can see the inevitable end game.
But WW3, no I do not think so, more like Rwandan and Yugoslavian ethnic cleansing.
Even the US Empire will disintegrate quite soon into separate groups and fight each other.

Kaep,
I sympathise with your impatience about the inability of people to understand the second law of thermodynamics. In this they are aided and abetted by the mainstream press who persist in retelling the fairy story of the imploding WTC buildings (all 3) on 9/11. Clever chaps these Muslims, they are able to suspend the laws of physics all on the same day, and the credulous populace don't even blink.
What hope then for the people you rail against who fail to grasp the basic point, as you say, that you cannot create energy out of nothing. There is always a cost, social, political and environmental, in our blind pursuit of "cheap" energy.

FYI:
The price we are paying for oil has now reached $129.84 a barrel.
It will be interesting to see whether it keeps going up and how much
behind the pump price is in terms of days.
Actually it should be rather quick as I think it comes ashore in Bass
Straight by pipeline. So Melbourne should get a rise almost immediately
whereas it has to come by ship to Sydney.
I notice the talk about the Sydney refinery closing so oil will have
to be sent to Singapore for refining and petrol & diesel sent back to Sydney.
That should justify another 10 cents on the price !

Sarnian,
I get it. You just read "What men know about women. You know, the e-book with 100 blank pages. And, now you are an expert!

-->>

When you see, a gentleman green,
’Round a lady green-bikin'
Just count to ten, then, count again:
She'll have a dozen kids in a limousine likin'!

Multiplication… that’s the shame in the genes!
And each generation… no matter what you plan, it’s played the same!

Now, there was two butterflies, castin’ their eyes,
Both in the same direction…
You’d never guess. that one little “yes,”
Could start a 4 wheel drivin' butterfly collection!

Multiplication… that’s the name of the game!
And each generation… they play the same!

When a girl gets coy, in front of a boy,
After three or four dances…
Ah… you can just bet, she’ll play hard to get,
To multiply her V8 chances!

Hear me talkin’ to ya: Mother Nature is a clever girl,
She reli-es on habit!
Ya take two hares, with no cares:
Pretty soon you got a planet full of cost-ineffective oil wells backed by Abbott!

Two parakeets, in-between tweets,
Sometimes get too quiet…
Uh-oh! But have no fear, ‘cause soon you’ll hear,
Demi Moore's gonna deny it!

Multiplication… that’s the shame in the genes!
And each generation… no matter what you plan, it’s played the same,
