The markets are trembling.
People work hard, lack time, lose money, and look at the sky.
The US Oil War that began 20 March 2003 is approaching its fifth anniversary. The blood for oil trade continues. Carbon emissions keep going up and up and up. Noncombatants die at the hands of overweight soldiers who'd rather be home with their families. Meanwhile Baghdad's weather is turning a bit strange. Back home, gas-guzzling SUVs drive around with "Support our Troops" stickers. The U.S. treasury is hemorrhaging dollars. The bleeding in Iraq goes on. Bush the war criminal, the world's Climate-Changer in Chief, remains unimpeached and out of jail. Americans continue to be passive and obedient, while their consumer society is sinking into a self-made crisis of unsustainability. After all, evil actions and self-reducing patterns are just two sides of one and the same coin. Perhaps the Having Mode hadn't been such a hot idea to begin with, for what goes against Nature's flow will come to an early end.
Time for a news update!
