Then I asked her "did you vote in the last election?" And she said "no, because Simon is so cruel to Paula". I have been working as a high school chemistry and physics teacher for the past 17 years in DeWitt, Iowa. For the last four years I have also worked part time with mentally ill adults. My second job provides me with supplemental income, which at this juncture is essential. My personal life is in a state of flux due to complications resulting from my divorce from my wife of many years. In the last few years I have become passionate about researching an issue with which few people are familiar: namely, the peak oil phenomenon. I am now convinced that peak oil is the most serious issue that western civilization has ever faced. It will radically transform both the way we live, and the expectations we have for our future. I encourage all to investigate this issue thoroughly. As an escape and reprieve from the grim and brutal prospects of peak oil, I like to play guitar, read, run or walk, or spend time with friends and family.
