>Scale Implosion  - James Howard Kunstler - 
It is my opinion that Kunstler, under the guise of environmentalism, may have a totalitarian agenda. His constant refrain, in article after article, is the need to 'manage' human affairs -- from forcing human beigns into mass transit to mandating alternative forms of energy. His initial support for the Socialist Obama is additional evidence for that agenda; his recent attacks on Obama reflects a view that the President hasn't gone far enough.

That the economies of the world are faltering is a fact. But the reason is just that which Kunstler would promote -- management by threat of force from governments. The only difference is that Kunstler would enthrone himself and his ilk as the new managers.
