"An industrial capitalist society that does not recognize ecological limits but only perpetual economic expansion and has the profit motive as driver, will eventually consume and destroy itself."

I'm back in DC now. This will have to be 'goodbye' for everyone who I didn't get to see one last time before I returned. I had a really nice ride home, getting some Contracts work done last night and a little Civ Pro done this morning, though I'm not quite sure if I understand the Civ Pro stuff. I do understand the Contracts, which is good because I might miss class tomorrow to legal observe. But yeah, no screaming babies, though a conductor did lose his temper and shout at a passenger. I considered doing something, but the passenger herself called Amtrak from her cell phone to complain and that sounded like enough. I didn't really see the incident anyway, as I was curled up waiting for Toledo to go away. But it was weird.
Things look uglier from the train. I think it's because no one thinks to keep the back of their property looking nice. Graffiti and trash accumulates on the back side of buildings. No one thinks about people like me, watching out the train window.
