Class Today at NoBullU on WEBY

UPDATE: As referenced by Greg, The Story of Stuff, the video and project website, which "explores the often hidden environmental and social consequences of America’s love affair with its stuff."

I'm not opposed to sustainability, but if you pine for pre-industrial times, I recommend that you read A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World.

You might also read Guns, Germs and Steel.

Also discussed, what if heavily armed black men organized against Bush?

Listen to the voice of wisdom and reason in a wilderness of partisan rhetoric -- No political insanity, no conservative hypocrisy, no liberal foolishness -- Just straight talk, straight at you, and that’s no bull!!
