it could get to the point here in America, not far down the line, when a desperate public will beg some political leader to push them around, to tell them what to do, to direct their behavior in some purposeful way to save their asses.
Not far down the line? How about the midterms elections of 2002 and the general election in 2004? And to use the phrase “corn pone American fascist” in the next sentence without a hint of awareness is a bit much.
Kunstler’s jeremiads get tedious sometimes. Worse than a self-styled prophet is one who thinks no one is listening and shouts all the louder.
