Heretics Unite !

- James Howard Kunstler -

So, Kunstler looking into the tea leaves of history -- seeing poverty and depression in the 14th centruy -- finds a parallel for our own times. The polar caps are melting and all edible life in the oceans is being destroyed.

A little fact checking here: although the north pole may be melting the ice on the south pole is expanding. Would he prefer the ice on both poles to expand back over the continents? Geological history shows the earth has repeatedly undergone climatic changes -- all without human intervention.

Then Kunstler laments that America is being paved over.

This is called civilization -- using the earth to survive, to progress in wealth and health. Included in what is 'paved' are markets, hospitals, busineses, homes and roads connecting such. What would Kunstler prefer? Mud huts? Thatched hospitals? Recent studies of pre 1492 North and South America showed that the natives extensively modified the wilderness.

It appears the only human society Kunstler would approve of would be one based on that of the Lowland Gorilla.

Can someone please recommend an anti-depressant for Kunstler.
