"People are ready to run wild into the woods again and to be as Heathenish as ever if you do not prevent it." Increase Mather
"...it seems pretty clear to me that an urge to destroy underlies many of our activities, then mused, 'I wonder how much of that urge is base on a need to eradicate those who represent other ways to be, and who thus remind us of what we're losing.' " Jensen quoted out of The Culture of Make Believe. pg. 202

Cuba And Peak Oil
I'm responding to comments in previous threads here. For some reason I can't respond to them anywhere else.
Locke wrote in the previous post: I didn't hear your question on the show. I think they might have edited it out.
It's possible they could've edited it out because it was so close to the news. They have never edited anything else of mine out before. I don't know. It is kind of wierd though.

Scout posted a really good power-point presentation over at Rewild.info about how Cuba handled their Peak Oil crisis. It's really to bad more people in the United States are not talking about solutions like the ones in the presentation. I don't think the crash would be so messy if they were.

WildeRix: Another Changed Mind
I just ran across this new Quinn inspired blog.
Ever since reading Ishmael I have always found hope in reading stories like these. It's just one more person who sees the culture for what it is, a prison. I just wonder how many people are out there with changed minds that we don't read about.
From WildeRix: Several years ago, while waiting tables in New York City, a friend turned me on to the writings of Daniel Quinn. If you have ever read any of his works, I’m sure you’ll understand when I say that it completely changed my life. That is no hyperbole. From that point on, I had to rethink everything. I began to realize that everything in the world comes from the earth and that all life comes from the sun. It reshaped not only my view on civilization, but it made me rethink my faith as well.
