| Too long to copy here, but an excellent example of doom and despair. If you buy all this, why bother opposing the jihadis? That's why many don't. |

| #5 Can we steer ourselves towards the Cuban ideal? Sort of tells you everything you need to know without reading the whole thing to find out this is his objective. |

| #4 Prozac? Why waste perfectly good drugs on the guy? He simply needs to be put out of his misery, that's all. |

| #3 The writer of this piece is an idiot. He can look at the rate of technology increase in today's overpopulated world, compare it with 1600 technology increase and say we are falling behind because our increase per person isn't as high. Could be we're getting a lot more technological increases but have a lot more sluggards on the rolls weighting down the numbers. That's the way it looks to me. The guy also doesn't seem to understand basic economics. Oil starts running out and all of a sudden you'll see serious interest and investment in that Hydrogen and other tech. Heck, high oil prices have already spurred interst in shale oil again. This guy is a fool. |
