Peak Oil and Politics

Please note: the crew rearranged my home office to make it look like a survivalist's bunker. That's not what it normally looks like around here. The crew filmed me about 2 weeks after Hurricane Katrina at which time I had just recieved a cache of supplies and had them sitting in my kitchen. They took those supplies and moved them over to where I keep my books and papers, things you would normally expect from somebody in my line of work. The fact that I was wearing a green sweater when they came here only helped convey an atmosphere of "bunker-chic." -Matt http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net
