>>>Dreaming is the most important part. Imagine if instead of blowing up Iraq we used the money to build a 400mph railroad from San Francisco to Chicago. Or (here's a crazy one!) instead of subsidizing highways we substidize railroads. Or let's say we spend a few hundred billion per year to accelerate the possibility of fusion energy (it's a long shot, but not crazy, and in theory it's provides the most net energy of any alternative, though still not quite as rich cheap oil). Or for every person willing to surrender their television give them an upright piano (we're going to have to entertain ourselve's somehow).<<<< Amen to that! I am very much advocating dreaming and trying to make these dreams come true. Even if the catastrophe is unavoidable, I prefer trying to work out a positive solution. >>No one was very happy with the suburban dream anyway<<< Sorry, we will have to disagree with this. I don't like cities, I don't like farms. I love suburbia. Jurgis the Suburban
