I Wiki-ed the book's title, and yeah Ted, according to the synopsis there, it seems Mr. Kunstler does indeed paint a pretty bleak future, alright.

However, surprisingly so maybe, I still have hope that mankind will in the future continue to be able to figure out ways to limit and overcome the effects of any catastrophic events yet to come, and so I doubt we'll ever be linin' up for foodstuffs such as Soylent Green.

(...I know, that's probably kinda hard to believe that a dyed-in-the-wool cynic such as myself would say that, huh!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
