Synthetic Oil - good or bad?

While I agree, the problem is....there are too many humans to make it possible for everyone to live an agrarian lifestyle. If you took every 98lbs., Spandex wearing homo out of NYC and gave him 5 acres to till....you'd run out of land and still have 4 million eyeballs staring at you. The cities are wonderful compact storage sites for all sorts of garbage.

Then again, the country ain't what it used to be. We all like to think of honest, hard working country folk but in reality there are plenty of mobile homes and run down shacks full of meth heads, felons, and illegal aliens. I know more than one person who has left the country to get away from the constant threat of home invasion-when-there's-no-one-around-for-5-miles.
