"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."

I love Warren Park. Summer evenings there beat out public television kids shows and stereotypes about college promotional materials for multiculturalism. Jogging around I was reflecting on this, and then thinking about how perhaps east Asians are underrepresented at Warren Park. But then what do you know, there's two mothers, Chinese and black, chatting while their kids play with a soccer ball. Warren Park makes fun of me. And later I was reflecting on how it's mostly black and white people with dogs, speculating that perhaps Mexican Rogers Parkers live more densely in their apartments and so can't manage pets, but then there's a Mexican woman with a terrier. Warren Park makes fun of me again. Though I still haven't seen any south Asians with dogs. Perhaps it's because many Muslims consider dogs to be unclean. But then, many south Asian Rogers Parkers are Hindu. Maybe they just don't like dogs?And if you're looking for a good book to read about Rogers Park, or at least West Rogers Park, I'd suggested the one pictured.
There was some other good news today, expected but relieving nonetheless. Too personally identifying to post, however.
