>Christmas Story  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Ah, the good life according to Kunstler, when buildings were small and quaint - and lacked fire prevention shower heads. When fireplaces burned brighly and one had the immense pleasure of inhaling smoke. When candles filled everyroom making reading such a pleasure -- nevermine the eyestrain, if one even had books to read.

The good life that Kunstler constantly envisions never existed except in fairy tales. The English philosopher Thomas Hobbs lived in such an era and wrote in 1651 that the life of man was, ""solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short". But that was before the invention of the electric light (fluorescent lights that Kunstler loathes) antibiotics, modern food production -- and fire prevention shower heads.

To Kunstler a man's home is not his castle, but his hovel.
