I read the other day that Sweden aims to become the world’s first oil-free country by 2020 or 2030. That is accoring to the Swedish minister for sustainable development, Mona Sahlin. That's a noble goal. But I wonder if energy dependence will long be a priority anywhere in the world. Other more basic priorities may emerge.
The very last sentence of a piece published in the English language edition of Pravda (a Russian newspaper, online) offers an eerie prognostication. It says, Those willing to die for their values surely will triumph over those who have none worth dying for. Another, related, opinion piece is equally disturbing. Both articles suggest we are witnessing the demise of Western civilization. I think we are. And I think it is unraveling at astonishing speed....think years, not decades or centuries.
Read some other items from Pravda and other admittedly propaganda-oriented sources I think you'll see the world from a different perspective than you're used to seeing.
Read about the Pentagon's control over U.S. society.
Read about how Russian writers view Bush and the U.S.
There is, of course, stuff that suggests nut-cases are rampant, but they no longer seem quite so utterly outlandish as they once did. I am afraid the U.S.A. is coming apart at the seams, courtesy of George Bush and clan, and we, The People, are doing nothing to stop it. The outlandish piece linked in this paragraph no longer seems utterly absurd to me. It makes me wonder.
