operating sustainable tech with a Gordon Gekko biz mentality will go on being fatal to new ventures.

solar is one of the most important emerging technologies...but it's the 20th century ways of thinking and doing biz that are not sustainable.

the more ancient cathedral style was NOT created to dupe people.
THAT sort of modern cathedral came much later and examples are available all over the world, where shining glass and steel structures command huge amounts of upkeep monies...while casting shadows on some of the most impoverished regions. this is true in all the richest cities in the world.

it is that sort of ostentatious hypocrisy that has caused so many to abandon the search for attainable Truth in any religion. so yeah, maybe this is good.

because of course it would be stupid to pretend that all atheists were saintly, wise humanists with a compassionate perspective -- as stupid as it would be not to remind ourselves that religious people have imposed wars and brutal prejudices on society for as long as history tells us about their existentialism Fnord

many self-calling "atheists" believe in SOMETHING that is some non-dominant culture's definition of the divine.

so the "temple of love"? that is what the Divine is from several perspectives. so there are different versions of Atheism. two different atheists might not agree on the same "ain't no such thing as that"...

The Carriage House also performs services for the mentally ill. why didn't that make the article? it's part of the reason people don't want them around...fear of the mentally ill has been around since the time of Dorothea Dix -- and when the people aren't being taken care of well, they tend to be more frightening to local people, as well as more frequent sources of crime. the crime part is spoken of by locals/neighbors, which is why they are not wanted around, vigorously. It's the same old people running the joint, after all, year after year.

real mature activists will consider the corruption at the World Court and the United Nations. those are actual head-scratcher challenges to justice. Poseurs just want to have their pictures taken, and to APPEAR AS IF they were doing something -- other than putting a drain on the municipal justice system. Fakes.

adbusters started this.

isn't this the TRUE Curse of the Boulder Valley -- that people would ruin things by overusing them?
