Enjoying  "what we have while we have it" is a double entendre.  For some of 
us  the cataclysmic end of the oil culture would be a good thing, not a  
negative, dark cloud.  It would mean that a lot more people would  have the 
opportunity 
to lead meaningful, productive lives rather than  floating parasitically on a 
tide of oil, turning and flowing wherever that  tide drifts them.


While your statement at the end of this paragraph is essentially true, it  
would only occur after the massive die off due to starvation, and after the  
chaos of those starving people killing you, and making off with the efforts 
of  
your labors.   Personally, I would think you would have at least a  slightly 
vested interest in, if not supporting society as it is, at least a  gradual 
transition.
 
or not...?
