re: #167 SixDegrees

I’m still at the point where I figure if NPR is reporting something like this, the reality is probably far worse. But there own report is bad enough as it is.

I recall a couple of months back being flabbergasted when they aired the views of (don’t recall name) on the Obama energy plan. To wit: The plan is basically to deliberately drive up energy costs, in the optimistic belief that this will somehow inevitably lead to technological solutions. The pull quote: “But in fact, it’s not like the government caused the personal computer to be invented, by imposing punitive taxes on typewriters.” I thought… WOW, this is NPR?!
