these articles are starting to pop up, but i haven't seen a single one draw the obvious conclusion that oil is obviously a shitty way to build an economy, isn't it?

maybe we should build our economy on something else?

marijuana? ethanol? solar? wind? hydro?

if you just read the news and take it at face value, we're fucked and can't do anything about it until the prices come back.

what if they don't come back?

and, how did our government become this overtly idiotic? i mean systemically. we've had changes in government in ottawa and edmonton, and yet they're pushing the same stupid line.

the petro-state is failing. do something about it.
