[StuckInPhilly]

We are the country that set up exurbs as far as the eye can see because we weren't thinking about the future (and didn't care).

We are the country that drives through the restaurant, the pharmacy and the convenience store while we proceed to get fatter and fatter.

We have no plans for a solar satellite (Japan) or nuclear (most of Europe) or a decent train system.

What about this demonstrates that we are going to do a whole lot more than sit back and repeat what was done yesterday?

[Heineken]

What is America, Carlhole?

A landscape of the past.

I truly believe that most of the good things about America have been killed or are now irreversibly poisoned. The scary thing is that when all you're left with is slogans and propaganda, that's when the rubber truncheons start swinging.

I am terrified of that next chapter.

Down with Big Brother. Long live the individual.

It's irrelevant whether or not I "believe in America" (whatever that means). My opinion won't have any effect on what is going to happen, for good or ill.

Basically, so what? I'm not in control of what happens to the big picture.

[Keith_McClary]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Carlhole', 'A')nd I don't see anything "stupid" about an article like this one: Peak Oil and Nuclear Power.

[Ludi]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Keith_McClary', 'N')ot "stupid", just blatant spin doctoring. Doesn't even identify the authour.

[Ferretlover]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Carlhole', ' ')Doomers do not believe in the America we have now. They believe in the traditional reasoning, ethics, morals, and values of the decent people of yesteryears. And, that is why there is so much Doom now. It's almost all gone.

Do I believe in America? Yes. It's the American people that I have no faith in anymore.
