That's probably worth a look. Myself, I just picked up Jim Kunstler's Geography of Nowhere. I enjoyed (if that's the word...)

He shrugged in his usual inscrutable way.<BR/><BR/>Today when we were putting away the food order, I noticed the eggs were in a different box. Unpacking them, I saw they were indeed organic/humane.

I'm Aussie and have been embarressed at our governments' tendency to follow yours (no offense intended...) but am proud that we made a preliminary grant of $3mill yesterday, perhaps we need to swap roles for a bit? Just watching the news tonight I have this awful sense of dread just like the tsunami that something really bad is going on yet we just don't fully 'get it' yet. <BR/>Personal donatations will fill the void as the truth is revealled, no doubt.<BR/>JackJackie Middletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097430040613398754noreply@blogger.com
