| Kinda makes you wonder a little at the Capitalist dogma all the way around. Maybe Osborn is right for entirely the wrong reasons. He thinks we need some kind of armageddon to get back to the "right and natural state of capitalistic economics", when we may need that armageddon to purge us of the "evil corruption of land ownership and capitalistic production". An interesting idea. I'm all for looking at where our conceits and our assumptions have caused us harm. I am in the middle of reading Collapse right now. I need to go back and read The Third Chimpanzee. I love Diamond too. Very readable and extremely thought provoking.
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
