Who should be held accountable for the failure of oil?

[Deja Q]

Well?

It's hardly the consumer; we are raised to be blindly obedient, so we think what people are doing is the best.

We don't lay out the residential and corporate districting zones.

We don't lay out the roads.

We don't assign speed limits based on energy consumption anymore.

Nobody has a garden large enough to sustain ourselves throughout the year and nobody thought into corporate farming (which is a short-term benefit, but what about long-term viability?)

And in an educated nation, we've kept our populace at a responsible level. We ought to be THANKED for that. Instead, we're raised to dumb down... so much for gratitude. I'll be happy to breed if need be, but for once responsibility has played a role. Not that I didn't notice other countries' doing more than their fair share of multiplying.

Feel free to respond; I like open deliberation.

1. When you put together choices 1 and 2

you have most of the "people". Most people work for corporations or the government.

2. I chose the corporations...

In essence, they put out bait, and we - the
foolish, short-sighted masses - responded
like hungry mice attracted to a trap.

From WalMart to GM, from the fast food drive through
to the producers of corn flakes, corporations have
enticed us into a Hellish choice - we take short term
pleasure, short term ease, at a terrible long-term
price.

Now, time's up - and the bill is due and payable.
