"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."
"But we will all be taken down with it."

Bush leads the opinion polls when it comes to the question, "Who can best protect the United States from terrorism?"But what effect would another attack have?
Would it send the voters rallying to the president? Or prove that George Bush hasn't made them safe?
The answer, of course, is that it's up to the television stations and the critters that own them. In fact, I expect that the television's response to the next explosion will probably determine the election.
But to lighten your day: Yesterday our house got a letter. It was from a collections agency in upstate New York. It was addressed to one Ment Configuration M. Mister or Miz Configuration M apparently owes Sherman Acquisition LP the sum of $882.01. I decided to call them to make fun of them as a way of exacting vengeance for the trouble that a collection agency caused Celeste and her mother. "Um, don't you think that this is a little odd," I said. "Didn't you guys notice that you're sending a letter to a seemingly fake name?" But she wouldn't do anything except agree to delete the address.
