Before it's too late....

Bah, Humbug!

End Notes and Suggested Reading:

(1)American Capitalism is a malignancy that permeates our economic, social, and political systems and institutions. This untreated cancer ravaging the body of civilization is spreading like an unchecked conflagration in a munitions factory. Feudalism didn't die; it simply evolved. Corporatism, Consumerism, wage slavery, debt slavery, free trade agreements, deregulation, and privatization condemn most of the global population to varying degrees of slavery, serfdom or indentured servitude.

Here's a short clip of his most recent solar contraption; for more on that project, and Geery's contention that the Wright Brothers took a wrong turn, please visit his airship page (hyperblimp.com).

Sadly enough...

GB is the symptom as much as the cause (I would love to be proved wrong).

I applaud Jason for his actions, not to mention his articles.

My spirits are brightened already--particularly since I recently got flamed, in person, when I requested that I get nothing for Christmas.
