Pigs on the Wing (Part One)

"If you didn't care what happened to me,
And I didn't care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing."

"What do you get for pretending the dangers not real?
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel."

Roger Waters

We do not have the infrastructure in place to deal with a oil crisis, with
peak oil either upon us or soon to be.  And until we have an alternative
energy infrastructure in place, sprawling malls on the out skirts of cities
could become dinosaurs within this century, as the energy costs of driving
to and shipping goods to these "remote" outlets becomes prohibitive.
