The Fate of the Turtle

- James Howard Kunstler -

Kunstler, commenting on the government he helped vote into power, says about that government: "The one thing it does exceedingly well is drain the remaining capital from endeavors that might contribute to the greater good." Despite the socialist Obama has been, apparently he has not enacted enough social legislation to satisfy Kunstler. And the people of America as well have disappointed him. He says, "For instance, the voters slapped down virtually every major ballot proposition to invest in light rail and public transit around the country."

You see Kunstler has been and is against individuals living their lives as they see fit. For him it is the "greater good" that matters, and who is to determine that good? Why people like Kunstler of course, who, for beginners, would crowd Americans into inefficient and crime ridden mass transit. Gov Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown of California, for instance, wants to bankrupt an already depleted state, by spending trillions on a rail system connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles. A system that, like all other government run mass transit systems, will require subsidies and therefore tax increases forever.

Beneath this article you can sense Kunstler's desperation. You see, for years, he's been predicting the end of oil -- and, as a result, the end of western civilization and a return to the woods, to catching rabbits, and enjoying the idyllic life of prehistoric man. But, surprise, surprise, oil production is not peaking -- it's expanding at an almost exponential rate. So, aside from the Democratic socialists now in power, America may prosper in spite of them --- and prosperity, with it's attendant power to the individual, is the thing Kunstler most hates.

The management of societal affairs is on an arc to become more inept and ineffectual, no matter how either of the current major parties pretends to control things. Instead of Big Brother, government in our time turns out to be Autistic Brother. It makes weird noises and flaps its appendages, but can barely tie its own shoelaces. The one thing it does exc...
