what a mess. the problem with all of this is that ultimately it's hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. yes, oil is a prized commodity, and in the struggle to dominate that and other resources including shipping routes, etc. the public are fed ridiculous myths so that no compromise is possible. Instead of compromise, in other words, the public is duped into believing that their welfare depends on agreeing to pay for destructive machinery, the act of destruction, and the act of reconstruction in an endless cycle of wasted human effort while other activities that are much less profitable but ultimately much more conducive to humanity's overall well being are neglected. It truly is a sick system, and it is made possible by good people being kept ignorant and/or being apathetic and less good people being greedy, insecure egotists with absolutely no moral sense.

Planned obsolescence at its most devious. This has been my way of looking at it for a number of years now.

Sick, indeed. More and more, I doubt that it can ever better.

Muslim Hadith 79

Submitted by kate of the kiosk on Thu, 2008-08-21 13:02.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:‘He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do that, then he should do it with his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do even that, then he should (at least abhor it) from his heart; and that is the least of faith.”Sahih Muslim  Hadith 79 Narrated by Abu Sa’d al Khudri

I would add "and if he or she has not strength enough to do that, he or she should do it with a blog, glossy cards, and big colorful signs."
