INTERESTING TIMES

I think Kunstler looks ahead and sees a future that really is tragic. But I think his view is longer than one generation. For your generation and mine, life will remain relatively easy. In the very long run no one can say for sure, but the picture that he paints is compelling and the major indicators point that way. There have been many generations on the building of this civilization, and there will be many generations in the destruction of it. Just because a way of life ends does not mean that all the people in it are miserable. But it is a lot more work trying to grow food than it is sitting on the couch and waiting for your disability check. If you know what I mean. I agree with him that we Americans are blind. Astoundingly so. Frightfully uninformed overall. And maintained that way intentionally, like pets, with notable exceptions who are largely found here on the internet.
