.... Not only have oil consumers been gorged to the hilt, we have been reduced
to being supplicants of the oil producers. Every day we are being fed the
unceasing lesson from the same hymnal, that oil is running out "tomorrow," come
and get it while you still can, not unlike 1855 when Samuel Kier's Rock Oil
patent medicine made from Pennsylvania crude oil touted to cure everything from
diarrhea, rheumatism, ringworm to deafness, solemnly cautioning buyers, "Hurry
Before This Wonderful Product is Depleted from Nature's Laboratory." This while
The Peak Oil Pranksters are ever ready to carry the message for the oil patch
both here and everywhere working near overtime to heighten our anxieties about
oil supply, programming us to pay ever more to the oil barons and sheiks.

"Gene Spafford's Axioms: The Internet"
[
Gene Spafford, a computer science professor at Purdue University, is well-known
for his aphorisms regarding the Internet. Coined in the early days, when one of
the biggest online functions was Usenet, the word "Internet" or the phrase
"World Wide Web" can easily replace "Usenet" in his axioms, and they will remain
just as true.

Axiom #1: "The Usenet is not the real world. The Usenet usually does not even
resemble the real world."

Corollary #1: "Attempts to change the real world by altering the structure of
the Usenet is an attempt to work sympathetic magic -- electronic voodoo."

Corollary #2: "Arguing about the significance of newsgroup names and their
relation to the way people really think is equivalent to arguing whether it is
better to read tea leaves or chicken entrails to divine the future."
