We have global warming on one front and terrorists climbing up our ass
on another. Conservation that is well within the ability of all of us
-- in fact, most of us on this list are already there -- could give us
some more time.

This stuff is offered to generate thought:

You may have heard of Chalmers Johnson, but I'd missed his recent
trilogy of books about the end of the US empire. The trilogy comprises
Blowback, The End of Empire, and now Nemesis.

Amy Goodman interviewed him last week about Nemesis:

Wikipedia, it has a nice overview of the author, if you trust it:

Reviews of Johnson's book, The Sorrows of Empire, are at

or

I particularly like the first customer review there.

And finally, Harry Kreisler interviewed Johnson when The Sorrows of
Empire was published:

The Goodman and Kreisler interviews have quite a bit of overlap.
