I would like to chime in from China. I'm working here as a teacher.

Seems we forget that Henry ford was planning on using Hemp to make a biofuel
and the bodies for his cars.

In New Zealand they are making a plastic 10 times stronger than steel. This
is also made from Hemp.

The Germans used a hydronzation process obtained from Shell during WW II.

The end of the world is not quite yet.
I would like to think there are a few men out there still who cant think
creativly to solve these problems.

Oil is not all. Just it is/was the cheapest.

I saw a place called Coral Castle.
The man there made his own electricty and a giant coral stone castle for
himself.

I wonder what would happen if we stopped watching TV and whining about the
world and got off our butts and
remember what made man the top of the food chain.

Complaining is good. It lets us get what bothers us off our chests.

But in the long run.
Maybe, it would be better to do more with what we have already.

We can think.
We can do.
We can change it.

If we have and want to.

Just a few thoughts from a teacher.
I'm doing my bit to change the world.

You??????
