I read this to understand all sides. I say everything in moderation…What do you think of Naomi Klein?
“Because make no mistake, capitalism will be back. And the same message will return, though there may be someone new selling that message: You don’t need to change. Keep consuming all you want. There’s plenty more. Drill, baby, drill. Maybe there will be some technological fix that will make all our problems disappear.” -Naomi Klein,30/7/2009.
If so, Progressives and Liberals, you are also in trouble. We need energy answers. This will come from innovation. And yes, that is going to take some new technology. Innovation+Technology= A change.
Nobody is completely right or wrong. These generalizations, such as Naomi Klein is making, have to stop and we have to all work together.
Using generalizations to refer to Capitalists or Conservatives is an uneducated view. Unfair. Shame on you, Ms. Klein. Not everyone who fits into this group is like you have described in your article.
Being obsessed over Sarah Palin seems juvenile and I know this is “not about Sarah Palin”, but you are giving Sarah Palin the power, by showing fear towards her. Are you really just threatened by her? That’s rhetorical.
This is not the change we need to campaign for a better world. This is not even American. We can argue all day long, but at the end of the day, there are more than two sides and there is a compromise. Nothing should be all or none.
Motivation comes from the ability to climb that ladder and we have it in America now, if we will teach everyone to use it. Kick out the criminals and stop the theft, but don’t break America! There is a reason so many people immigrate here!
Oh, and the bailout will only work to give us higher taxes and more home losses. Some of us are already living within our means and aren’t greedy First Class passengers…
As for Disaster Capitalism, didn’t Rahm Emanuel say “Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.”
That’s not change, that’s hypocrisy. What is different? A crisis so we can spend more money? Trillions…Oh, and we are still at war. Great.
