Nutters were never known for being rational when times were good.
It's now clear this "condition" which is really based on fear and
excitin' Hollywood movies, will not improve with peak oil.
Half the life of a nutter consists of driving around showing off his
new gun rack. 12/gallon fuel will fundamentally change the nature of
being a high school drop out nutter.

Nutters have no interest in economics. Nutters just fear progressive
economic policies will bring in a lot of gun grabbers.
Now that they are gittin' pushed too far by fuel prices their only
response will be to stock up on ammo and start oiling the gun _three_
times a day.
And threatening to shoot newsgroups "gun grabbers."
