"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."

nce upon a time in SE DC, Meg was biking through traffic when her Chrome bag hit the mirror of a truck. The truck blared its horn and Meg thought it best to start biking on the sidewalk. Ten blocks later the truck caught up with Meg and started yelling. As they passed an intersection, Meg turned hard and sprinted up another street. The truck backed up to the intersection it had just passed and then pursued Meg. Meg turned into a parking lot and hopped over a lawn and a sidewalk onto a different road. The truck followed her over the grass and the sidewalk. Meg hopped over the median and under the gate to the parking lot where she worked. The truck did a U-turn and tried to get through the gate but was slowed down. Meg ran through the marina security doors with her bike on her shoulder and then into the boat house where she works. The truck gave up. Meg thinks road rage is nasty and trucks shouldn't chase bikes.
