Quote of the Week:

"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."

So I've noticed that name dropping has become a favorite game recently on the blog, so I thought I might join in. This evening after the Christian Peacemaker Teams UK meeting at the LMC I was hanging around with my friend Justin doing dishes when his phone rang. He proceeded to spend about an hour talking on the phone with a woman who seemed to be a journalist interested in the recent oil-for-food revelations that have been coming from the UN. He seemed to know her fairly well and they chatted about a variety of debt forgiveness related things.

Turns out it was Naomi Klein, one of my favorite journalists of all time! She's doing research to follow up on her latest story. And I was standing right there. Oh my gosh.

P.S. I fixed the link and the wording Celeste. I wish you could come visit and have a long chat with Justin. The weekend before last he was in Washington lobbying the IMF to cancel Iraq's debt. I'm sure you'd find a lot in common.

Epilogue: Sure enough, Klein quoted Justin in an article the next day for the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,,1328664,00.html on debt cancellation and who should really being paying reparations.
