Comment on You Probably Don’t “Have Time” for this Maurice Sendak Interview by Releoryi

I enjoyed the interview but my soul wept at the end as his life seems so empty in his thoughts at the end.. He seemd so void of something. There was something about that interview that I found haunting and strange. When my parents died, they looked forward to an afterlife….I walked awy in eace with each do their deaths, This poor man (at least in the interview at the time) was empty..he was grateful to have grown old but empty. He wept as he missed all of his friends who had died but ever so wanted to see his brother again.

I respect his body of work. His spirit cried out during that interview in a way that it felt like screaming to me…a scream that does not stop. I was touched and feel haunted by all of this.

I hope that screaming spirit within him found peace.

Comment on True Unemployment Rate at Depression Level (19.9%) and Rising by depelton

I agree, RL. In the short run (where “short run” may be the next few decades) the void will not be filled by green jobs, or any other color jobs. Not as long as conventional wisdom suggests austerity as a coping strategy among Western industrial nations.

One of the biggest problems with unemployment is the loss of entire professions and industries due to advances in technology. I don’t know that the promised “green” jobs will fill that void, or if there will be something we haven’t imagined yet. The real danger going into the future is having millions of unemployed, angry, desperate and hungry people. A recipe for revolution, as the French and the Russians found out.

Jeff:

Thanks for the pointer to your blog posting. Very interesting.

Nice synergy between my reprint of the High Country News article about Agenda 21 and your excerpt from the CABPRO newsletter.

And great comments on your site (as usual) by Steve Frisch and Kate (I love the Chicken Little crack!).

Don.

Yes, it is a lot like NH2020. As you no doubt read in my cartoon book, I was at many of the public meetings and saw how fired up the opposition was. Peter Van Zant proposed a “property owners bill of rights” to try and defuse the situation, but to no avail. It took two election cycles, but the right finally took the majority on the Board of Supes and squelched the program. (Interestingly enough, there were some on the right who opposed Robin Sutherland’s bid to take Izzy Martin’s seat because she was a native American. They thought she might try to open a casino!)

It hasn’t gone away. There either was or is a public meeting dedicated to Agenda 21 happening here recently. I saw a notice for it on Rebane’s or Steele’s blog. Don’t remember the date. Personally, I don’t see how a body as dysfunctional as the UN could ever enforce something as draconian as what they envision in this country.

Anna:

You said, “This sounds like Nevada County’s experiences with NH2020.”

I agree. That’s what I thought when I first read this piece from High Country News.

We had not yet moved here during the NH2020 uproar, but I have the impression that there is still a contingent of the local Tea Party that is concerned about “Agenda 21.”
