Goood Morning Economyyyyyy! That’s right while you were sleeping we lost more of everything, jobs, we lost a gulf to oil, and a lot of homes went poof too. Sick of it, sick, sick, sick. Mad, mad, mad! Politics is a red faced bully shouting to a blue faced pansy holding his breath and hoping. Start to talk about the big picture, you know, the environment and we have a glassy eyed, quivering and splintered society on our hands. Our collective anxiety feeds a self imposed moratorium on figuring out how the heck we going to redesign a world that is going to run on granola and tree bark. We can’t even keep the status quo now, and we are supposed to do it with less energy! Is that crazy or just stooopid?Ok so let’s say it going to heck- the environment that is. We've heard it for years and, well, the cork is out of the champagne bottle. We have drunk our fill, if somebody has to clean up after the party at least it isn’t us. Ok so there are a few angry drunks who talk about solar flares and spotted owls, but come on it was a blast while it lasted. We may have to do with mega banks and micro-politics for a while but we seen worse, sorta. All we need now is a refinance and a job- we'll look into that carbon thing afterwards- deal?
