>We Wish  - James Howard Kunstler - 
So, finally, the MSM is exposing the myth of peak oil as well as global warming -- and Kunstler is pissed. As well he should; his diatribes against modern industrial society being exposed for the mindless screeds they are and have been.

They don't like humans defending themselves -- best to ban guns and allow the police, hopefully not on strike, to handle things. They don't like large soft drinks being sold, or french fries, or donuts, or candy -- best to ban everything upon pain of fine, incarceration or both.
