I'm expecting living standards to go all to hell as the price of oil goes up
and the known supply goes down. Today, an estimate of $104/barrel oil prices
came out. Even if there is enough gas, oil, NG, etc., if the price suddenly
goes ballistic, life as we know it is going to be not pretty.

I'm not so much worried about government power, but about government's
inability to foresee and exert any control at all upon the basic necessities
that keep our civilization functioning.

I expect that in a couple of years, all the concern and anguish that was
expressed over the Terri Schiavo case will be focused on figuring out how to
keep the majority of people from freezing to death in the dark.
