>A Distant Sound of Churning  - James Howard Kunstler - Kunstler
Kunstler hears "ominous bassoon phrases," and "something large groaning out there in the dark." What does he think it is? Why, the mountain of fiat currency the world has printed. So far, so good: we all hear that coming tsumnai -- but most of us, except the Kunstlers of the world know that the primary cause for that has been, and is, the ursupation of power by the government to fund their own coffers by the dumping of the gold standard decades ago.

But what does Kunstler think the cause, other than a projection of his own overactive imagination? Naturally it is technology and the solution is for man 'to make a smaller human imprint on the planet...and all that it implies.'

What more does that imply? Going back to a world made by hand. For the Japanese, it means donning a kimono and a katana (read his article AN ODD RUMINATION). For the rest of the world I suspect he advocates a similar retrogression into tepees, igloos, caves, log cabins.

If if we don't make such a retreat? Why, Mother Nature will rise up herself and smite us as he speculated in AN ODD RUMINATION. "The world is telling us to cut it out or it is going to kick our upright bipedal asses," he wrote.

I'm not making this up. Kunstler is a first rate humorist, though not intentionally.

The real answer to the problem is a metal backed currency, taking the hit that will come, and rebuilding. And, of course, telling the enviromentalist to **** themsleves and drill for the plentiful oil still underground that responsible geologists say is there. But, then, Mother Nature would be pissed and do all kinds of horrid things to us. Is Kunstler ignorant of the geologic record that shows repeated natural diasters long before man evolved? What raised Mother Nature's hackels then? Were the dinosaurs tooling about in oversized SUVs?

We defintely are at a crossroads. Back to loincloths and shivering in caves or forward with an unhindered technology correcting our mistakes along the way. As H. G. Wells wrote in his screenplay for the movie A STORY OF THE DAYS TO COME: "The universe or nothing, which shall it be?"

Début de l'article : In my last dream of a febrile night, I put my flat-screen TV on top of an old house in town and watched it crash onto the street.There was nothing inside it.The darn thing was empty.The ghost of Little Caylee wasn't even in there. From the news this weekend, you'd think the world was in a coma, but I swear I heard ominous bassoon phrases through the night rain... Lire la suite
