Oh come on.  You never discovered ANYONE who was a Mouth Foaming Racist from the 60s to the 80s anywhere in Amerika?  You missed George Wallace when he ran for POTUS?  You missed it when the KKK burned the crosses and the black kids in Mississippi?  It took until Peak Oil for you to discover hatred in the FSoA? 🙄

Oh please. Of course I've bumped into rascists, KKK supporters, howl at the moon religious nutters, it was Applachia! Some of those coal miners were foul mouthed ignorant and weren't all that thrilled working with "black boys". Others could care less, as long as they pulled their weight underground. I've also met racist PhD's, and PhD's who firmly believed in Bigfoot roaming the wilds. And PhD's who couldn't figure out peak oil any better than high school drop outs. It takes all types, and all types exist. Intelligience as it turns out doesn't preclude folks from being nutters, racists, religious zealots, etc etc.

A conclusion I was quite surprised by when I finally reached it. Always thought brains would work things out. My mistake.

Probably. Don't recall ever hearing about him being mentioned up North. I might venture that Jim Crowe wasn't a northern Appalachian thing, compared to the more southernly version.

My best friend in high school was black. Never struck me as weird, no one ever hassled me about it, racism wasn't something I can recall being a thing.

Don't recall that one at all.

Where do you get "hatred"? Halfwits pretending to be geologists, geologists who don't know engineering, engineers who don't know economics or geology, these have nothing to do with hatred of the USA, racism, or politics. Halfwits are just....halfwits.

Unfuckingbelievable.  Consistently Inconsistent.  Debate yourself.

How can a finite resource not PEAK.  Do tell.  Cornucopianism is not tolerated here.  Until you explain how oil CAN'T PEAK you can go ahead and foam.  Be my guest.  Gas will be selling for fifty a gallon, and you will say.

What me worry.

What I find particularly disgusting is labeling the fundamental mathematical relationship of peak oil 'a theory'.  Total hyper-reality bullshit, and adolescent solipsism to do so.  At some point most children learn that they can't impose their will on reality.  Those that do not make the rest of us suffer after they become the worst kind of adults.  You claim to be educated but refuse to provide bona fides.  I have a Linked-In and anybody can look it up.  Unlike you I have no reason to hide under a rock.  You could send me yours privately if you had one.  Since you deny basic mathematics your education which you claim, but do not prove is in serious doubt.
