Forget About 100-mpg Cars

  • and said:

A bit inane, all of this, really. Electric cars consume ten times the water when compared to fuel vehicles. That 100MPG fleet will only deplete our water supplies in no time. The answer is getting rid of cars, folks. I know we hate to think of WALKING and redesigning our cities, but it’s a must-do. We built the suburbs, and we can unbuild them. Also, the biggest thing you can do to make a difference is stop eating meat right now. After energy production, animal agriculture is the globe’s largest CO2 gas producer. In fact, a vegetarian driving a Hummer is producing FAR less emissions than a meat-eater driving a plug-in hybrid. Before you buy that Prius, consider your diet…then you can find out whether you really do give a damn. If you refuse to give up the beef, well, you really don’t care.

The 51 Best* Magazines Ever

  • and said:

The inclusion of EROS proves to me you know your stuff. I’ve a couple sets as well as Avant-Garde (should have made the list) always nearby as Ralph G is my publishing-hero. The fact that no biopic of the man, who was as essential to free speech as was Lenny Bruce, staggers me. Your film division should be all over this one. . .his story is H U G E (yes, pronounced with an H – you East Coasters who drop your H’s are just fucking up the language,yo.).

David Byrne’s new book, Arboretum, is filled with similar diagrams, all based on the tree shape. Check it out.

British Apple

  • and said:

1. Why do people care about the differences between Apples and PCs? Our world is literally burning down and many think that this is something worth discussing. This floors me.

2. What does this have to do with GOOD? The magazine, well, it rocks. The website, well, it’s an exercise in how to confuse the intention of the magazine and/or an exercise in questionable marketing tactics in that such muddying does more harm than good to the magazine – as evidenced, I believe, by the lack of comments/followers of the blog … it has no real focus.

I love y’all ag GOOD, I really do, but you badly need focus to do real good.

Who’s In?

  • and said:

Ralph Nader. As Eugene Debs has been dead for decades, Ralph is still the last good man standing.

(oh how i love the vitriol that is bound to pour in from calcified Democrats – anything to get the comment board hopping here. . . so far the comments are few and far between – where the fuck is everyone? Did you hear me? I’M VOTING NADER MOTHERFUCKERS!!! Ahem.)

Why Do Good?

  • and said:

This seems very consistent with that wee bit of programming that is built into every cell of our bodies via our DNA – our survival circuitry. When asking why people act a certain way, it always (and I mean always) comes down to the basic human directive to survive. Altruism as genetic code? Absurd. Even worse – altruism as proof of the “dawning of the age of Aquarius”. We’re the same grizzly beasts (exactly the same) as were 10,000 years ago. As the article points out, we do good out of the ‘eye for an eye’ instinct – a more positive spin calls it ‘do unto others’. We do good to reap good, whether we want to confess this or not. We do good because we hope that we benefit by living in a world where things are better for all of us, but most specifically for us and our family (again, the family unit is an external expression of the DNA). That the researchers were surprised by the results is the only surprise.

In It To Win It

  • and said:

Wow. . . talk about an environmentally-unfriendly candidate. Sigh. Let’s hope to go people wise up about Hillary before we’re fucked. I’m hoping all my friends who swear up and down they’d never, EVER vote for a pro-war candidate come through on their promise. Odds are, however, that they’ll swallow their convictions and vote Clinton, voicing lame “what do you expect me to do, vote for the Republicans?” excuses and, once again, getting 100% taken for granted by a party that gives not one tiny sliver of a shit about their liberal constituency.
