I don't understand the connection you are attempting to make between peak oil and this quote or the link to Professors Gimenez's Sociology course description. Want to explain what point you're driving towards because you lost me? Are you speculating that because FTW is full of nuts and peak oil is discussed on that site (an assumption I make because of the wording of the quote above) that any discussion of peak oil is nuts? That the only people who discuss peak oil read and rely on Ruppert the wacko for support? I've never really read anything beyond a few paragraphs by the man and don't intend to start now. Some people find it amusing and some find it believable but I just find it annoying.
