Maass' New York Times article on peak oil and Kunstler's reply

Peter Maass, "The Breaking Point " New York Times, Sunday, August 21, 2005. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/21/magazine/21OIL.html?pagewanted=all

A nugget found within: "Husseini, for one, doesn't buy that approach. ''Everybody is looking at the producers to pull the chestnuts out of the fire, as if it's our job to fix everybody's problems,'' he told me.

If your government can't do the job, you can't expect other governments to do it for them.''"

Maass' article appeared on my birthday, August 21st, 2005, the day upon which I buried my thirty-fifth year.
