for those of you who don't take the notion of resource depletion seriously. I'll be laughing along with this cartoon...except that I am real.
Oh yes: Starving people are generally too weak to survive long enough to band together in cooperative armed gangs and seek isolated hoarders at random in the hinterlands. Read some actual history. It looks good on television, but the reality will be a LOT different.
Your future: No food off the shelves, no potable water...and most importantly, no knowledge at all of how to live off the land...just enough knowledge to shuffle paper, send e-mails, and play X-Box.
(But you all know how to laugh...and scoff.
Good for you...)
