The End of Suburbia

I saw this nearly a year ago. It's well worth watching, particularly if you live in the suburbs. But it won't give you any "warm fuzzies."

The fact that suburbia is ending in terms of economic viability ties in with the "Life During World War 3 post immediately below. Darth Cheney has called our economic way of life "non-negotiable."

When one tribe or civilization refuses to negotiate with another, war is the inevitable result. The 'Murkans of 2006 are a motley agglomeration of tribes — some civilized, some not — who believe themselves to be entitled - in fee simple absolute, as lawyers would say - to all the resources on the planet. It's the "Why is our oil underneath their sand?" mentality.
