>Mid Year Digest  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Talk about leaping from a false fact - that the world's oil supply is diminishing - to an insane conclusion: that the "the suburban project is over.." By that Kunstler means the end of individuals having the temerity to think for themselves, to desire personal transportation, to desire to move away from crowed cities into the suburbia he hates. You see Kunstler wishes us all to be banned from our automobiles and herded onto crime ridden public transportation.

Now why this hatred from Kunstler about suburbia? Simply it puts people out of the control of environmentalists, or government -- dictators of any sort. In no way can the Kunstlers of the world have individuals acting on their own perception of reality or their own self interests. The oil situation is dire, but not for the reasons Kunstler wishes us to believe. The oil is there, and plenty: the only problem being government and environmental (dictatorial) sanctions against finding and selling it. You see the more those types can limit freedoms, the more dependent individuals will be on them.

Kunstler, interestingly mentions Tony Soprano (the fictional mafia extortionist, murderer, and otherwise manipulator of other people's lives) with affection. No surprise there.
