re: #93 Killgore Trout

If there’s a realistic and practical real world alternative I’d be happy to hear it. As far as the “stream of goodies” goes I think that’s an issue for OWS supporters as well. Most people just want things to go back to “normal” so we can all get back to running up credit cards to buy shit we don’t need and easy mortgages for houses we can’t afford. I can guarantee you that once this crisis is over we’ll immediately revert to the same behavior that got us here.

That is, frankly, one of my biggest problems with the Occupy stuff. It’s certainly true that corporations have become more and more exploitative, but that pales in comparison to the fact that we cannot continue as though our resources are unending. We need to become a sustainable economy. I do think that the two things go somewhat hand in hand, but I’d like to see it talked about by the Occupy people.
