No, they're both as bad as each other.

Uh-oh. Here goes another definition war between DT and C.

Citizen, don't you find most of DT's observations sound, even if you disagree with his labels?

Liberal, Conservative, Socialist, Facist...if he's in the White House, chances are he's warlike at this point.

Water? Nawww. I think the great question which will pit brother against brother and nation against nation is which is better....

DT,
another stupid answer from you. In fact desalination is extremely energy intensive, it it were not you would have farms in Saudi Arabia by now. So in a world without cheap energy (which is what a world without oil is likely to be) your ability to clean and distribute water drops dramatically.

We had 10 inches of rain in Dallas last weekend, enough that areas near the Trinity valley were flooded yet we already are behind on last years rainfall level. We ended last year with record lake and reservour lows so unless something changes we will be even lower by this time next year. As the planet warms up paterns of rainfall will shift and places that had water before may not have as much as they once did. That is a problem if you live there.

Fletch,

Curiously, as usual, you are wrong. It takes no energy at all. For that water to be turned into fresh water all that is needed is for time to pass. Then it will fall from the sky.

Citizen,

I'm not getting into it again, other than to say that you miss the point. Leftist philosophy mandates that other people than themselves change their behavior. This and its inevitale resistance is what causes conflict.

Anyway, there will always be oil. You just have to know where to look. I wrote a very gruesome sf story about this.

There will be oil, but not as much.

If it doesnt fall from the sky where you are (read my post for once) then you will have to move to places where it does fall. Since the folks already there may not like you doing that it would be a source of conflict. Likewise, as nations upstream take more and more river water for their own use those countries downstream will get less and less, again a recipe for conflict.

As usual you continue to apply your upstate New York liberal bias to every issue. If it doent effect you then it's not a problem right?

DT:
Fine:
Liberals or more apt the left at large fight for ideals. That causes conflict.

The Conservatives, or more apt the right at large fight for resources, land, power and money. That causes conflict.

However since you only see the conflict in the world in the terms you want to see it you have relabelled war == liberal and peace == Conservative.

Frankly that is NOT objective and it is you and your agenda of 'the right is right there is no other way' talking. If you don't want to get into it, stop saying it, because I've had enough of holding my 'tongue' and letting you say what you like for the sake of keeping the peace.

You start talking shit; I'll call you on it. You don't like it, stop talking shit.

And as for water falling from the sky:
We have rain, lots in point of fact, in Britain.
