Seeing Stars

- James Howard Kunstler -

Mr. Kunstler says the following re the 10th 9/11 anniversery:

"To me, the various 9/11 doings that radiated out over the media gave off an indecent odor of triumphalism - a correspondent of mine referred to it as "self-important histrionics." "

Naturally, to him, that's what it means which explains it all. His weekly columns are nothing more than to show off a varied vocabulary and non-varying condescending attitude. Yet, given who he is who can blame him?

The environmental movement and its climate warming or change agenda is near collaspe -- done in by facts and fascification of data admitted by the so-called climate scientests themselves. His peak oil rants have been rendered obsolete by new oil discoveres, and the increasing perception that all the oil we need is there but for the want of exploration -- at least long enough for free enterprise (not government spending and not hampered by governement) to discover an alternative.

His usual format itself is failing: comparing some conservatives to a Nazis, lamenting about some dismal trip he took through some more dismal town, throwing in a word or two about the end of oil, and then predicting the culture returning to some kind of hand made world free of industry, antibiotics, and everything else we think we need to live. Oh, and the need to push individuals from their auto into mass transit -- and into the clutches of criminals, unions, and terrorist's attacks. In San Francisco, today, protests (over what I don't know) may well shut BART down for the evening comute, and not for the 1st time this month.

So, on with a world made by machines, technology, and the confident human intellect -- and correcting our errors along the way.

Beginning of the headline :I don't want to be party pooper, but is it possible that all the 9/11 remembrance hoopla was a kind of weekend refuge from reality for this psychologically spavined nation? Memorializing is easy; acting resolutely in the here-and-now is another matter. To me, the various 9/11 doings that radiated out over the media gave off an indecent odor of triumphalism - a correspondent of mine referred to it as "self-important histrionics... Read More
