I love how he tied in the fossil fuel concept at the end. Especially since my car is in the shop and I'm mad at those darn "Arabs" who own the 7-11 for raising the prices.
Recently the theory that we are always fighting the next war was brought up in conversation (did I bring it up?), anyway, gaining ground in the middle east seems to have something to do with territory as well as fuel. Who else will step in and "spread democracy"? Russia? Nope... China.
That's my theory for the day, but I hate talking politics cause it reveals my indifferent ignorance and belief that only aesthetic experience is worth thinking about.
Anyway, Matt did you get Debs via Vonnegut? I know you are a voracious reader, just curious. I've had to mention him in teaching my US Hist class (again, I say ignorance)--so I got my Debs via Bob Jones' curriculum.
"As long as there is a lower class, I am in it. As long as there is a criminal element, I'm of it. As long as there is a soul in prison, I am not free."
Last thing--glad to see V'gut mentions Crime and Punishment as great literature--oh the dispicable human condition has never (?) been depicted better.
Oh yeah, the Chinese invented the printing press too.
Cheers to you old man.
So it goes.
i have a biography of Debs (one of my dream projects is a bio film about him) and from reading half of it i can safely say he's probably the most qualified man to ever run for President.
I'm curious, Mike, what BJU's books said about Gene Debs, considering what I remember them saying about James Joyce.
Whenever it's darkest, we can always turn to Kurt.
