2. Personally I think this is a hit piece.
Edited on Sun Aug-20-06 01:42 AM by skids
I think this is a plant to give something to the anti-global-warming crowd to point to to say: look they want us all to move back into caves and eat tofu.

Granted the future does in fact look bleak -- and it would be whether we ran out of oil or not. The environment is not going to support us.

Personally, I don't think an anti-economic-growth stance is going to help in any case... maybe the side benefit they hoped to get out of that was to push those who are capable of self-sacrifice into complaincancy about the utterly mismanaged economy.

In times of human crisis, we all need to help each other. That means more jobs and more available services, not less.

(on EDIT: having Googled this guy I see he probably is being sincere. Now as to whether his misguided opinion on this is being used as a stalking horse, that I raise for serious consideration.)
