Snake Garden

- James Howard Kunstler -

Lewis Carroll at the moment, though dead, is quite disturbed. He has been unseated as the nonsense king of the English language. By whom? By Mr. James Howard Kunstler of course. Carroll's famous inanity "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe" has been replaced by the following convolution by Kunstler: "a rapture of techno-narcissism holds in thrall even people who ought to know better, and a chatter-stream of infotainment propaganda..."

The choice wasn't easy. I could have quoted Kunstler's opening: "There's a good reason why nobody is paying attention to the election this year except the people who, one way or another, get paid to be interested..." Really? The recent debates have shown a viewership of over 60 million nationally.

So what, if any, is the point of this article? Other than Kunstler's usual digs at Capitalism and Obama's failure to root the snakes of industry out of the "garden"....no point. Make no mistake, Obama IS destroying Capitalism, but at a pace that does not suit our new nonsense king.

The underlying sentiment of Kunstler's article appears to echo that of Carroll's Red Queen, "Off with their heads!"
