"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."

For those of you who don't hang out near the White House, there's a place on Pennsylvania called The Bread Line. It annoys me that a bougie breakfast/lunch/catering joint should have a name and decor that tries to invoke the Great Depression. While walking past it on the way to school this morning in the heavy snow I passed a homeless man. He glanced briefly into the garbage can. There wasn't anything to eat in there, but I had to applaud the irony.Yesterday I got a free lunch from the School of Public Policy and Public Administration. I was there for a session to hear about NeighborhoodInfoDC and Dataplace, both nifty websites that will provide you with lots of information, though perhaps not exactly what you're looking for. But man, check out Dataplace. You can make all these cool maps and stuff.
