I wasn't reading Kunstler in 1999, so I'm not aware of his Y2K predictions. Lots of folks went crazy over that shit. I have, however, read many other sources and thinkers regarding peak oil, as I'm sure Kunstler has, so while his exact dating may be off, his general premise (i.e., peak oil will happen/is happening and at some point in the relatively near future, shit will hit the fan) is right-on. Quit being so snarky! @The Partner: You’ve totally used “your” when you meant “you’re”.

I can't believe your linking to someone like this. Did you know that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Howard_Kunstler" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia's objective article</a> states, "Kunstler, who has no formal training in the fields in which he prognosticates, made similar dire predictions for Y2K as he makes for peak oil." Sounds like he is just trying to scare the base away from their divine, infinite, and universally awesome Obama. Which side of the binary fence are you on? Us or theirs?
