Danse macabre at the restaurant

…And then again (in contradiction to what I just posted moments earlier), there are other links to bits of information that make me toss my cookies and proclaim that all is useless… There really are mean streets, and they’re paved with the bodies of those who couldn’t afford to be there. But the ones who on those streets survive, they walk on corpses. Reprise: Johnny, komm, wir fressen eine Leiche….

The Earth has many axes

Woo!, the internet is so cool…. To flesh out a comment to yesterday’s post on recycling, I was noodling around for a reference to February’s Harper’s Magazine article by Richard Manning, “The Oil We Eat; Following the Food Chain Back to Iraq,” a tremendously important article — really, all self-defacing acronyms (IMHO) aside. Although Harper’s isn’t online, I did find a comments thread on a site called Ish*Con, very interesting stuff (and here’s the link to that comments thread), from whence I came to the webpages of Derrick Jensen, who writes provocative environmental philosophy, apparently while situated in the depths of the Pacific Northwest. I don’t know about anyone else, but that’s what I stay in it for, the links to new places, even if they’re just new to me. And who cares if no one in Boston or San Francisco (the A-list neighbourhoods) has heard of them. We bloody well are nobody, and we hear. Sometimes we even bloody well talk. Go, decentralisation!
