human progress

Reminds me of a poem a 94 year old lady named Hazel Harrison I was a live-in companion for in Miami used to recite (don't know if it was hers) that goes:
...and now that this old world is saved
things go on the same
as mean as Cain, as kind as Abel
they play a similar game...

"We have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible. What leaps out from the history of the past hundred years is its utter unpredictability."

...New York Post ran a cartoon, which portrayed the bullet-riddled body of a dead chimpanzee shot by two policemen. One of the policemen says: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill." Lyndon LaRouche denounced the cartoon as a threat of assassination to the President,...
...LaRouche emphasized that the President needs to understand that compromises won't work. The enemy will kill. You can't bargain with them. This includes the Bush family. The former President's grandfather was a fascist, who helped put Hitler in power, his father is a fascist and he is a fascist. In fact, the whole Bush family are fascists.

Water contaminated with high concentrations of lead flowed in the nation’s capital for three years...officials insisted residents were safe...The word plumber comes from the Latin: plumbarius - lead worker - a slave who constructed waterways and roofs in ancient Rome using lead. Even back then, the dangers of lead were well known. Yet, recently two scientific studies concluded there were no adverse health effects from drinking Washington DC's tap water, even though it contained the highest level of lead ever recorded in the U.S.
..."...one of the most significant environmental crimes in U.S. history, if you consider the number of children impacted, the known effects of this neurotoxin, lead, the astronomical amounts of lead in D.C. water, and it's all made the more insidious by the fact that the perpetrators of this were the very people who are paid to protect us."...

...A peer-reviewed study published in Environmental Science and Technology on Jan. 26 by researchers from Virginia Tech and the Children’s National Medical Center concludes that thousands of young District of Columbia children had elevations in their blood lead levels during a 2 ½ year period between 2001 and 2004 when water lead levels in the City were staggeringly high. The study’s conclusions contradict earlier statements and studies from paid consultants of the DC Water and Sewer Authority (DC WASA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the DC Department of Health...

Boston Air Traffic Controller Says 9/11 An Inside Job - December 14th, 2006, 02:46 PM

Boston Air Traffic Controller Says 9/11 An Inside Job
Knew people in FAA on day of hijackings who said intercept procedures should have been enacted as normal
Paul Joseph Watson

A former Boston Center air traffic controller has gone public on his assertion that 9/11 was an inside job and that Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon tracked three of the four flights from the point of their hijacking to hitting their targets. In an astounding telephone interview, Robin Hordon claims air traffic controllers have been ignored or silenced to protect the true perpetrators of 9/11.

A recording of the phone conversation was posted on Google video late yesterday by the Pilots For 9/11 Truth organization...

Who killed the US street car system?
brasschecktv.com/page/549.html
General Motors at work
You know, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea if General Motors did go out of business.

What has the destruction of the nation's street car system cost the country? A trillion dollars? Ten trillion dollars?

You'd have to add up all the oil consumed that didn't have to be, all the environmental diseases that didn't need to happen, and all the economic constraints on poor and low income people that didn't need to be. Then there are the quality of life issues which are incalculable.

Go to super-prosperous cities like Basel and Zurich in Switzerland and you'll see they excellent street car systems - just like we used to have in the US.
