At some point soon, we will have a catastrophic harvest in India or China which will cause prices to skyrocket(and make the multinationals a pile of money as they sell grain for record profits).<br /><br />Third world countries will then have to choose between their starving citizens or protecting the multinational's property rights. There is no doubt which side the US Marine Corps will back.<br /><br />Happy days.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-64720664935403005492012-09-12T08:38:19.967-07:002012-09-12T08:38:19.967-07:00Ael, the "media" has little on it's ...Ael, the "media" has little on it's empty mind other than Snooki and JWoww and the "horse race" between Obama and R-money. The entire coverage of AGW is ridiculous; it's inevitably reduced to a "he said/she said" presentation even though on one side there's a growing heap of hard science and on the other there's "Isn't can't doesn't <i>oh look! A shiny pretty!"</i>.<br /><br />So, no, anymore than the annual lamentation of 9-11 has been useful in examining the benefit to the republic of decades-long expeditionary wars, secret prisons, the advancement of the surveillance state and the fragmentation of the rule of law.<br /><br />I honestly have no problem with wars if there's a point to them; I wore the tree suit for twenty years and it's almost impossible to do that and sing kumbaya. But the degree to which we the citizenry have become subjects and allowed our masters to prosecute these idiotic and self-destructive little cabinet wars is getting increasingly enraging.<br /><br />To me, anyway.FDChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607785969510234092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-11210969528575900962012-09-11T20:05:28.618-07:002012-09-11T20:05:28.618-07:00Speaking of bitter harvests, has the media down th...Speaking of bitter harvests, has the media down there been paying attention to the decimation of arctic sea ice?<br /><br />Record low ice volume, area and extent. The changes are happening in years where most climate models had predicted to take decades.<br /><br />All sorts of nasty feedback cycles appear to be kicking in.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-45645688434057805172012-09-11T18:35:34.299-07:002012-09-11T18:35:34.299-07:00Great lyrics.
