just what was needed

Just what was needed on a morning I can’t seem to wake up. Honestly, the inside of my brain feels even smoggier than the air outside. Anyway, what was just so needed was this little exchange between Joe Bageant and one of his many correspondents. The correspondent, who goes by the name of Manuel, points out that if humanity does not pull its collective head out its arse real fast there ain’t gonna be no second chance to rebuild society. To which Joe responds:

Dear Manuel,

I was talking about rebuilding a nice little Neolithic seed gathering, root digging society. One whose religion is centered on long afternoon naps.

In art and labor,

Joe

And to which I say:

AMEN!!!!!!!!
