"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."

Blast you, New York. While the weather was so kind yesterday, allowing us to enjoy the sea lions, otters, and penguins at Central Park Zoo, today the wind and snow were so bad that I almost gave up trying to be outside. Fortunately we didn't have to be out very much. We spent much of the afternoon indoors at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum with a handful of other people who were in the mood to go to a museum on a Tuesday afternoon. That turned out to be other students on break and tourists from Europe. There was a great tour guide. I forget her name.Afterwards we stumbled bitterly around Chinatown, finding a pickle place (horseradish pickles = not as good as they sound) and buying tickets for the bus to Boston.
So, in conclusion, many thanks to Angela Showalter for putting us up in her east village flat for a few days. Soon this will all be over and I'll have to actually go back to D.C. and get stuff done.
