Humanity is moving along in the cruise ship called industrial civilization and headed straight for the peak oil iceberg. What is interesting about the iceberg, though, is everything below the waterline." |

"When Hollywood remakes the Grapes of Wrath and you identify
with one of the sexier pickers and the mobile lifestyle, you can
guess the leadership has snapped out of it and is pointing
the way forward again. I'll be busy riding my donkey to the water
war with three lizards drying for jerky on my hat and a bag of
rattlesnakes to use as grenades."

Member quotes... |
Dune
Here, at last
I meet the sun
—all my fears
and it's so desolate
—vacant, and cruel
earthen, yet shifting
mocking each step
each breath
each collapse
and resurrection
and vile life surrounds
feeding on moisture
like packs of
sucking scavengers
and not 'till now
as I drag limb
after limb do I
see them
as they dance—anticipate
my offering
out here—on the spine
of the desert
along the dune

WTF are they smoking at the CPI Calculator Headquarters???? 
Maybe they are attempting to factor in reductions in consumption into the calculations. But that seems a little bit like saying "food prices fell because everyone starved to death".  |
THAT is funny!!!

Why on earth is medicaid and medicare so screwed up?
The same reason that US soldiers are getting killed in Iraq escorting convoys of empty Haliburton trucks all over the place. The same reason that it took FEMA a week to figure out there was an emergency in New Orleans, when every person in the country not employed by the government knew it was going to happen two days beforehand.
Nepotism, corruption, ineptitude, self-serving bureaucracy. It's the end result forcing 300,000,000 people under a single government which is then selected based on popularity. Nobody cares if anything gets done, as long as they look good for the TV cameras. They can pretend that they're providing healthcare coverage for poor people. They're not. A few doctors are taking care of the poor people out of the goodness of their own hearts, but the congressmen can pretend they are on Meet the Press and that's all that really matters.
