Is that its the most precious resource we'll ever have found, that has too much of a temptation to exploit and raise the average standard of living well beyond what humans can expect on this planet... like many fools with drawls driving machines in circles over and over again while these things can send craft into space that have a recording of a Bach Prelude as performed by Glenn Gould.... with various other messages to let something else know of an "intelligent" species living on a planet called earth...
look, I can step on a pedal! vrrm vrrm, Im a real man... oh yea? lets have a bicycle race sir ,see who is stronger. I can push down on a pedal with my foot too. Assclown.
what upsets me most is peopel complain about 4 dollars a gallon gasoline but pay 50 dollars a gallon for starbucks coffee - a renewable resource of much less value.
20 cents will take you and 5 of your friends and all their shit in the luggage compartment a few miles down the road... ask a guy with a rickshaw or a horse carriage if he'd do the same for 20 cents and he'll just laugh at you.
Gain some perspective.
1 barrel of oil that can be extracted from the ground in Iraq for 1 dollar has the equivalent energy of 12 people working manual labour for you for an entire year. That energy source is so dense its essentially free energy.
Get used to renewables resources based on a per capita input from the sun (as it has been until 1859 at Drake's well) provided a tiny fraction of the energy density we've been used to.
Get out of the mindset that since the filling station has always been there it will always be thusly. No wonder Neurotypicals make such great fodder for the New World Order, and why I have to be drugged to shut the ^&&( up.
