>Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide  - James Howard Kunstler - 
1. In either case you're broke, and what remains for all these nations is a fight over the table-scraps of the late and great industrial orgy.

Many ways to consider language. This next one is very old in terms of reason and so naturally from the Greek...

Plato's Academy definition: orge - anger; the urging of the passionate part of the soul for vengence.

Question: does this lust for vengence characterize the West's late great industrial? If so, what does it say about newer surge to same in today's China or India? Over and over both have declared now it is our turn. What does that say as well about the value of table scraps, and so too the price of precious metals? No one leaves this field = orge. Aye, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide - in the face of burgeoning suffering task remains fighting at the table or changing the field (messianic tech break through, which cannot just be connection - as you said). How bout new fuel source, eh?

2. It's what you do when the world is collapsing around you.

Expect a lot of people to get angry then, eh. Or, better change the field of commerce. Or, hedging, announce that you are betting the farm on changing the field (which is what farmers do), and then (all in, like farmers) actually play that hand (actually make the effort) through hell or highwater until the world commerce is changed, or you are irrelevant. The United States put a man on the moon. No other nation stakes that claim. America's current president is a self-serving, pandering baffoon. He's in the way.

To short the country is to declare it already damned. So don't run. Don't hide. Rather, make deliberate the stride to industrial innovation, prestige, and glory. A one time Olympiad in which government backs say 5-10 categories of collaboration (government, academe, industry, military) with winner takes all (or great advantage) prizes to patents is not off the table, for example. Watch the world tremble in the face of such competition. Watch the right people emerge for this right task. Watch God himself favor this undertaking. Watch American innovation perform its sacred task.

Why one time only? Because government involvement in this task absence crisis is offensive. Hey Obama, but especially the next president of the United States, people are suffering. Get angry and either take a shit or get off the pot (resign). America can't afford a 3rd lousy president.

Beginning of the headline :I landed back in the USA Wednesday from Sweden. What a downer to be reminded that more people speak English in the foreign country you just came from, and to notice what a slum airport New York's JFK is. "Wretched refuse yearning to be free," the poem at the statue of liberty's base declares. How prophetic... Read More
