why does no one care about hybrid cars and stem cell research and antibiotic abuse? or the msra virus that has mutated and is spreading across the country --heard about that yet? what about alternative energy sources? they're mining "oil-sand" in canada, oh yes, and praising it's purity. it can sustain the american fuel economy, they say. we won't have to rely on the middle east. they say that canada will finally earn america's respect.


(has no one read asimov? or bradbury? science fiction, I know, but their writing from twenty, forty years ago is more insightful and informed than world news tonight. they forsaw a world that is crippled and drained, where our great-great-grandchildren curse their ancestor's love of excess and waste and ignorance.)
