>Christmas Story  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Through narrative Kunstler seems to be offering the results of some applied solutions to our economic dilemma. Kind of vague about the methodology; but I'm heartened by the ultimate effects and results. Bigger and more aren't necessarily better. Some advances should arguably always be our companions: medicine (especially care and understanding of the human body), electricity, transportation (ultimately without the reliance upon oil), construction, science and creativity; although I wouldn't include the "new" creative finance practiced at this stage of the game. Great abundance runs the serious and all too possible risks of creating great hubris which often creates great failure and/or destruction. The Greeks, The Romans, The Ottomans, The Persians, Chinese dynasties and many others all arrived at a point of no return and wound up destroying themselves mainly because they believed they were immune to error (What worked before will always work again). Without the abilities and virtues of honesty, self-appraisal, vision and humility, to name just a few, all civilizations will wind up on the trash heap. Sound familiar?
