The history of the human race is one of making life suck less.

I, for one, plan to be on the right side of history on this topic.

If the oil is running out or is otherwise untenable lets make some rational plans for something better (oil is dirty anyway and makes life suck) rather then running around in rough goat haired shirts flagellating ourselves and congratulating each other on how much we have made life suck and how virtuous we now are.
