Joe Bageant: The Beauty of the System

Unread postby AlCzervik » Wed 19 Jul 2006, 11:17:06

This guy is so brilliant at capturing consumer-class America and is like Kunstler on steroids. He is not a peak oiler as far as I know, but sure sounds like it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')eanwhile, what we have stretching from this computer screen all the way to Washington DC are a couple million people, citizens clustered like ticks on the spotless suburban belly of an allegedly fat republic. Strangers in the lost cul de sac squinting at one another briefly as they get into their cars. In the super-burbs there are no places where residents encounter people unlike themselves, or encounter people at all once the garage door has dropped shut. Only that inside the fuck-boxes and the roadside world seen during miserable commute to DC or The Beltway “where the money is.”
