"Democrahousing".
June 23rd, '08.
Uluruba.
Is California's extreme heat, a Flippant Wave of Mutha's Wand, or a thermal, boiled out-of the collective heatbank of the southern Californian urban sprawl?
I'm REALPOLITIK-Down on "suburbs", purely for the western concept's GROSS contribution to overconsumption, waste, abuse of resources and their general materialist ignorance, using, in a State like Cal, possibly THE extreme example of overconsumerism on Earth (but hey, Miami? Houston? Washingmachineton? London-Paris-N.Y?), about FIVE TIMES the amount of "Energy", as 'one' indicator, it has been calculated, each person on Earth, in a Just, Balanced and Democratic Global Society has a Right to.
Thinking about it, The L.A.-San Diego urbanity, Recognizing the State's Sincere and Good Governorship toward A Greener California, while in-it's-very-heart having to contend with another of the Earth's most profligate promoters of EXCCESSS!!! - HollywoodTADAAA!!!, South Cal probably abuses 10 times it's share, per person.
IF, this hypothesis holds, to-which I add a theory that "...'boilover-effects' like California's 49-degrees-Celsius temperatures, may take decades if-not centuries to build-up...", then I direct the Good Fellows in the "possibly" Redeemed F.B.I, arraigning the badguy-property-LAND-speculators of the U.S., subprime mortgage meltdown, to "Fear no evil" and keep doing the Impartial, "Mutha-Maths" to the point of the Sword of Justice, and lassoo the varmits who "legitimize all-and-any contributions to unsustainable Human habitation.
"A Chunky Call, Omaxa!?"
Hmmm..., if you start biting that branch of the Babylbeast, MASSIVE EDUCATION Projects become the need, to be swung-in ("AAHEEAAEEAAOH!!" bellowed Tarzan), on all aspects of EarthRight (©!) Lifestyles.
P'rhaps the hardest "Swing" America, thus all its suppliers
have to ride and Voluntarily Go with, is the JUSTIFIED Call for EBEREEWUN to go Vegetarian, if not Vegan!
HYOOOMUNGOUS!!
Beans
How'var!
Energy-wise..., sorry-but-to-my-Maths, "suburbs" full of "the epitomy of inefficiency - the "nuclear family" domice-cum-citiphiliac enviro-toxic-wasteland, a biospheric deadzone", a la the dominant global model today, cannot be justified, purely for being so alround uneconomical and consumptive to one-and-all.
One Mutha Eartha included.
Wrong it is, I feel deep in me bones, to expect tooo much from any individual.
Same-same for Whoever Ascends to the U.S. White House, if only for the fact that NO-ONE, not even "Jesuss" attains to Leadership all-by-herimself!
The next Prez, walks into their new home, 'cause many millions Agree, Support and Vote them in.
So, "What for, a Prez at all??"
THROOO to the keeper!
First, its a bit follyable to demand such-a-House downsize to an equalibrated Light Footprint. "Equitable" perhaps, but when ONLY related to Doin' The Duties of Office.
Running the global or just the U.S. race sucks tons more energy than Mr & Mrs Mid McSuburbs' triple-fronted.
One recalls doco's about top Japanese corporate executives, CEOs, who live in Humble bungalows, avoiding the bling-and-flitter.
The film "The Last (Chinese) Emperer" insees an egoic equilibrium possible in "Men of High Rank".
Traits we need today, to see especially up-in uptopuptownupclub-sville.
So I expect Barack and The First Lady to rent-out all but three rooms in Tha BIG House, post January, '09!
Hyuk!
Of course Good Leadership must include '...by example!'
Thus today it's incumbent upon the incumbant, to do that right-through the House and the Administration.
HOW-vaarr?!
Leading thus, is Great, but bringing the People with you in matters as gi-mungous as global warming and, as I Advocate, broadbrush Land Reforms, to either "IN-A-HURRY!" minimize the carnage past Landcare ignorance brings us, or to 'hunker-down' against the coming-drumming, is tooo big a Call to Rest on the shoulders of any one person, or even of an Administration.
And of course, this is the issue behind the very notion of "Democracy".
"Rule by the People"!
REALITYCHEKK!
GLITCH: A Wonderful Ideal, 'Democracy', but it's DEADLY if the People are stupid.
Same-same as "messiah"-centred cults. They need a guru because they are lost. Thus-so, their judgement is absent.
They are not at all in need of a messiah-hero-great leader. Not a Teacher, but the Knowledge of Organically Combining Happiness with Sustainable Lifestyles.
That! Is Pretty, and Pretty Spiritual!
The Bliss of a Trusting, Trusted Community, blows-away the delusions of a catholic mcmadhouse.
The Spirit of Good Science, especially Demographic and Economic Sciences, blows-away the delusions of a hopelessly corrupt Homeland and Planet, also.
So if this prattle goes near the nail's head, The next Prez of the Big 'Ouse, need do but 2 tings;
Once they've scared the be-Jesuss out-of the masses, about the real accumulated dangers Humans face these next 50, 40, 30 years, thence maybe for a few hundred..., GIVE EVERYONE, not just America, the Knowledge on Sustainable Living-read-Sustainable Economics, ("Henry...? By-George..? Who WAS That Man?!"), and instruct the FBI to GO the Full Monty on Wall Street-level 'Land speculation' as THE flawed part of the culture.
("Break-down-the-walls!")
Again, Education of a New American Light or Brand and FREE, is the mental Flagship for the U.S. in the 21st Century.
And ain't Americee lucky they'se got the generous minds of the likes of that Bill Applegate Fella? Good Job too!
Americans have come to look at why the Rest of Us have been ANGRY at 'em.
All the Sciences AND the weather have shown 'em.
Lots of 'em, don't wanna be seen in such a bad light, and if they see it's TRUE, that they's a bit unsustainable, and endanger the MUTHA...., I reckon the Proper Egalitarian Ascendant to the White House will be able to Walk with the People, as they and their Indominable Spirit grasp the nettle, and rip-into the REAL challenge of Bringing Back The Balance.
From The Bronx to Berkeley.
Balance in housing, in terms of the economics-of-scale thus-"Environomics" (©!) of ANYTHING-BUT a furtherence of the inefficiencies in urban nuclear family social models.
Give Americans THEIR Land, THEIR Economic Wisdom, then let 'em loose with their Enterprizing Attitood, and Bob's your Uncle.
Yours,
Max Earth.
Outlaw for Global Land & Drug Law Reform.
Uluruba,
Earth.
