Road Warriors

MK at Peak Oil blog links to the Top 10 conspiracy list.

The AlterNet list mentions Mad Max as the Hollywood equivalent pessimistic endpoint. As a matter of fact, George Miller's Road Warrior has political connotations up the wazoo. (Besides being my favorite action yarn of all time)

The parable synopsis:

1. The tanker loaded with sand -- Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink


2. Gyro man -- Jumbo Jets anyone?


3. The bus caravan -- Off to Woodstock


4. Mel Gibson -- Practicing for End-Of-Days in the sequel to The Passion
