No Clean Energy Equals Slavery 06 21 2011
Barrack- what happens when we no longer have energy available in the future to power the tractors (combines) that plow and harvest our crops? Then we have to go back to an agrarian society. That is good because it is more organically produced. But how do we prevent an agrarian society from reinstituting slavery. (If you believe the premise that we will be able to grow anything at all when we have expended all of our fossil fuels.)
I stopped along the roadside in Wisconsin by Rush Lake to take pictures of more than a dozen Sandhill Cranes in a field. A man in a red pickup truck pulled along side of me. I think ones who are country fold are like to talk to strangers.
“Do you have a gun?” he asked me.
“I might have,” I answered as I held my DSLR.
“If you do, shoot them!”
“That’s illegal.”
“We shoot them up here. They ate ten acres of my corn.”
The man spoke with a calculating tone. He had short blonde hair that aged,wore no glasses, dropped facial features, roman nose, and a Mo Stooge hair cut. His face hung on him like a zombie.
My point is many fold and the least one is, “Wondering if he obeyed the Indian Rule of no waste with regard to the Sand Hill Cranes that he killed, and ate them and if so what they tasted like.”
1. How do we keep an agrarians society from shooting people.
2. Where is the responsibility and rule of law in such societies?
3. What would prevent those in an agrarian society to enslave people to work on their farms?
4. Without any energy how could we act against those who enslaved others in a future agrarian society in the United States of America?
5. It would seem that they do not abide by the rule of law as it is today!
6. What we would also have would be a bunch of compounds and David Kerishes or Hugh Hefner types running them. I don’t trust human nature in small isolated groups.
7. What else do they, or would they shoot?
8. What is them to stop making Chili out of those they do not like?
9. Our modern world should be mature enough to shun fossil fuels in favor of clean renewable energy. Roll them sleeve’s up Barrack.
