Future Shock: A Better World Beyond the Imperium

by Chris Floyd from his blog, Empire Burlesque.  I recommend reading the online article. I did not have time to listen to the 38m radio interview linked in the article.
Dissidents and critics of the powers that be are often accused of being negative – tearing things down, undermining, never offering a positive alternative vision. Now, I happen to disagree with this. I believe that people who work in waste management – clearing away the garbage, the poisons, the crap – are just as important to the life and health of a community as, say, an architect who makes the community beautiful, or a teacher who educates the young, or doctors who heal the sick and so on.
