implosion. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/clusterfuck_nation/2008/07/the-coming-re-becoming.html">We seem unaware how extraordinary the American experience
has been, especially in the last hundred years. By this, I don't mean
that we are a <EM>better</EM> people than any other society -- these
days, ordinary people in the USA make an effort to appear thuggish and
act surly, as though we were a nation of convicts -- but for
decade-upon-decade, we were very fortunate. Even the Great Depression
of the 1930s may seem like a relatively peaceful and gentle "time out"
from a frantic era of hypertrophic growth, compared to the storm we're
sailing into now.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://jameshowardkunstler.typepad.com/clusterfuck_nation/2008/07/the-coming-re-becoming.html">Even now, we think we are immune to the
epochal hazards of history. The notion that nothing really bad can
happen to us is reflected in the blind cluelessness of our current news
media and their simple failure to report what is now happening.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/79F6BDE8-0394-4C8F-A1E0-2B21DBD8EA24/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
