Future California

What is the future of California? I ask various questions and generate discussion around what our future is. Particularly in light of Peak Oil and the resulting economic difficulties.

all is calm in the west

a brief survey of the news reveals nothing erupting on the surface, but much brewing underneath. countries align themselves for a final resource grab. debt levels continue to rise astronomically. asian banks still buy dollars but are getting tired of it. traffic has been relatively light. i noticed an odd anouncement on the lighted bulletin board near the Bay Bridge flashing "abducted child honda accorded smashed right window" struck me as rather Orwellian and perhaps Bradburian. Are we to track this vehicle down ourselves. maybe call 911 if we see it? citizen participation, ain't it sweetly rewarding?

i suspect around the equinox things will boil over. the relatively calm surface will see disturbances.

i wonder how the governor and Newsom would get along? when trying to coordinate emergency preparedness would they see eye to eye? how about the governor, Newsom and Oakland mayor Brown? this sounds comical, like a sketch.

the increasing indicators of a coming draft are almost comical. i would love to see how soft Americans deal with attempts to force them into the corrupt military. particularly the smarter ones who have the skills the military lacks, like languages and computer programming. seems ironic that the high-tech military having invested so many billions in its ultra-sophisticated killing capabilities now can't find enough skilled hands to deal with them.

what's wrong with them? don't they see we need the oil...they must be wondereing. or maybe thinking that its time to quite the polemics and just start shootin' the Arabs. away with the false rhetoric of Democracy and Human Rights, we are empire, and only the strong survive. we must suck it up, and just stomach the killing.

this might actually go over in the South and perhaps the Midwest, but here in the Bay Area? makes one laugh, about time for some real autonomy
