Oil. We can't live without it. It appears to be a non-renewable resource. The world uses more of it every year than the year before, and no one seems to care if they waste it or not.

Why? What if we discover that the oil we pump out of the ground is actually lubricating the continental plates as they slide against each other?

What if it turns out that the oil we pump out of the ground is creating additional friction below ground until eventually we have a super mega earthquake?

What if we build up our roads and highways to such a massive extent that nothing can replace oil and allow our way of life to continue, as a result, we turn into a Mad Max society?

Now that is something to worry about. [img]confused.gif[/img]

Did you find yourself tuning out over my lament until the very last sentence. Until I made it about us?

We are a truly pathetic species, are we not?
