Following up on the accidental politics thing I found the editorial in the March 25, 2008 New York Times in line with what I had been talking about. It just came out of a scan of the morning paper but it made sense to me.
"If any good can come out of this mess, it would be an understanding — by corporations, consumers and government — that the era of cheap oil is truly over. With that, the country could finally focus on developing clean alternative energy sources and reducing oil consumption, a strategy that has served other countries well.

A lot more needs to be done to prepare the American economy for a world of scarcer, more expensive energy. To start, the nation has to replace the oilmen in the White House with leaders who have a better grasp of the economics of energy and the interests of all Americans."
Yeah, yeah, I am a liberal. So sue me.
Oh the photo above is of Queen Street West in Toronto. Funky little street with lots of things going on. I just liked the shot's color and so there it is. On a gray day in the Midwest it is rather life affirming to see such a visual pastiche.
