Mark Morford's references an excerpt (see below) from a book by James Howard Kunstler which you can read here. This excerpt from "The Long Emergency" appears in Rolling Stone and is bone chilling to say the least. And if that is not enough, read The Crusaders which should have you running for the hills. I, for one, am certainly glad that I am not 20-something. Perhaps I will be gone by the time these things come to pass.
