"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."

Soul Coughing: Irresistible Bliss | $1 | A | This purchase gets its rating from its low cost, high quality, and coolness of purchase. It falls short of an A+ only because the album is not one of the greatest albums ever and I feel like A+ should be reserved for finding something truly spectacular at that price. Somthing like Kind of Blue, for example. |
Reveille for Radicals | $0.50 | A- | Again, a very good purchase, but once again the higher ratings must be reserved for yardsale purchases that truly deserve them. |
Secret History: The CIA's Classified Account of its Operations in Guatemala 1952-1954 | $0.50 | B | A very good price, again, but not a truly great book. It'll be nice to have around as an historical reference, but I don't know how I'll really use it ever. |
A blue foldable cart, like the ones that people use for grocery shopping when they don't have cars. | $5 | B | Something of a strain to the rating system. The system is of course at some level dependant on my preferences. However, this item receives its completely average grade because, while it is very nice to have right now as Ang is leaving and my access to cars is greatly diminished, it is really only worth $5 with its oddly-cocked wheel and I feel that the ratings system should be independent of events in my life. |
Also, I'll be arriving in Goshen on motorcycle on Tuesday evening and staying until Saturday morning I think. Sadly, fewer good people will be there than during my previous visits, but there should be enough.
I'm going to clean the bike now.
