The end came so quickly we didn’t even notice

Monday, April 21, 2008

I'm in the mood for bulleted lists today.
  • The bees are all disappearing.
  • Costco is rationing rice, oil and flour because of dwindling supplies; shortages and skyrocketing prices.
  • The dollar is rapidly becoming worthless. It is no longer cost-effective to farm out our manufacturing to China, nor our customer service to India.
  • Our mad idea that we should use food for fuel means that corn is in short supply and prices are way up; this means that farmers wanting to cash in are planting corn like crazy and not other staples.

My prediction? Soylent Green makes its real-life debut within a few years.

The scoops are coming! Clear the area!
I repeat: the scoops are coming!
Soylent Green is PEOPLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!SOLYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLELLLLLLLE!!!

Gene- brilliant. I think I'll watch this film again this weekend and hoard all the strawberry preserves I can.

Seriously, this is exactly the scenario I've thought about in the last few weeks. World food shortages with hunger riots? shortages of grain? No fuel to power carshomesofficesboatswhatever? Hey, I'm expecting the automated suicide centers next- you know, where they put you in a room and play pretty movies with nice music while you die and then you're made into food for the masses....
