Perestroika

- James howard kunstler -

Oh, where to begin? There are so many inconsistinces in Kunstler's thinking, like roaches crawling from beneath a fridge thats been rattled, thats it's hard to figure out what to stomp on first.

Let's focus on his current screed:

"We think we need more American oil so we can "end our dependence on foreign oil." Despite the PR bullshit you see on CNBC, the oil is not really there in a form that will flow sufficiently to support our completely insane mode of living in cars."

1) Ah, we DO need more American oil to end our dependence on foreign oil. According to geogists, the oil is there, primarily off the coastal United States, and all we need to do is ignore the socialist environmental freaks and drill.

2) What is "our insane mode of living in cars" about? If you read Kunstler regularly, you know that he espouses funneling all of us into mass transit -- or into situations vulnerable to criminality, strikes (as in the recent Bay Area BART strike) and terrorists attacks.

3) So what is Kunstler REALLY all about? Control, control, control. Individual choice subjected to HIS or some committee's whims. Socialism pure and simple: Comarde Kunstler knows best how we should live -- in some pre-industrial utopia where everything is made by hand and some daily mandatory oblation made to a tree.
