it will look like something from the old movie [on the beach]

In the late 60's the Club of Rome issued a report called "Limits to Growth" based on computer models of population, pollution, available resources, and a couple of other factors.

Their conclusion: either the world immediately (1970) cuts back on its industrial output or their will be a massive die-off of the bulk of the human population, starting as early as 2013.

What's happening now is the super rich are hoarding resources and pushing the rest of us out. They intend to be the ones who survive the die-off.

That doesn't exactly answer your question, but it's a start.

Considering that the Bestiality-Rights revolution has begun, I think that we're on our way to a more tolerant and inclusive society where we will truly have EQUALITY FOR ALL!

GREAT FLICK!!!

Either (1) we'll emerge as world leaders in green tech and save our middle class, the environment and our economy in the process...
(2) We'll suffer through a long and bloody civil war/revolution and pretty much become a third world nation with nothing at all. Think Mad Max scenario....
(3) We'll muddle through with business as usual, and just lose all credibility on the world stage, be regarded as the big mouth kid who used to be cool.

But i can't possibly memorize it all.

Are you purposely weird and obtuse or does it come naturally?

This was a nice follow-up to your last weird and obtuse comment.

That's today's big news .. maybe this year's big news.

Power to the People!!

Three days ago, before Bank of America capitulated, John Nichols (in The Nation) said this:

Much has been made about the prospect that Barack Obama's presidency might, due to economic necessity and the president-elect's interventionist inclinations, be a reprise of the New Deal era.

But there will be no "new New Deal" if Americans simply look to Obama to lead them out of the domestic quagmire into which Bill Clinton and George Bush led the country with a toxic blend of free-trade absolutism, banking deregulation and disdain for industrial policy. Just as Roosevelt needed mass movements and militancy as an excuse to talk Washington stalwarts into accepting radical shifts in the economic order, so Obama will need to be able to point to some turbulence at the grassroots.

And so he may have it.

After the Bank of America -- a $25-billion recipient of Bailout Czar Hank Paulson's "Wall Street First" largesse -- cut off operating credit to the Republic Windows and Doors company, executives of the firm announced Friday that they were shutting its factory in Chicago.

Instead of going home to a dismal Holiday season like hundreds of thousands of other working Americans who have fallen victim to the corporate "reduction-in-force" frenzy of recent weeks -- which has seen suddenly-secure banks pocket federal dollars rather than loosen up credit -- the Republic workers occupied the factory where many of them had worked for decades.

Making a New New Deal: Sitdown Strike in Chicago

That didn't work out so good for Lar, did it? Well, try, try again. Third time is a charm. Or not. HA HA HA
