rural idiocy

[Mark Jones]

I suppose it was put frivolously. Doug and I have been discussing
this for a while now, though, so I don't repeat the whole argument
each time I mention it.
If you think the oil won't run out, however, the joke is on you.
But rather than rehearse the whole argument again, let's start say
with Campbell and Laherrere's article in March's Scientific
American. It's on the web, at www.hubbertpeak.com as I recall.
When you've worked out your answers to that, let me know.
