>Apocalyptoween  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Kunstler is and has been a critic of our modern industrial society for years. In article after article he has extolled the simple, back-to-nature life, to a 'world made by hand.' He has even gone so far as to spiritualize the very dirt bringing visions of Mother Gaia wrecking civilization.

Now, with super storm SANDY bearing down on the East Coast, he says, "My own main worry, sitting here in comfort, in a well-lighted room, is how widespread the electric power outages might be and how long might they last...." So he sits in the comfort of what the Industrial Revolution has gifted him with in 'a well-lighted' room and is very worried about the electric power (he has often denigrated) going out.

Naturallly he abhors Romney and, showing his brilliant use of language, calls him, "..the idiot Romney.." Nevermine that Romney would increase drilling on public land, remove nonsensical environmental restrictions, pursue the Keystone pipeline -- and other measures -- all in an attempt to make America energy independent by 2016. So Kunstler ought not worry. The 'idiot' Romney would make sure James Howard Kunstler continues to be safe and comfortable in his well-lighted room.
