A Response to “Fuck You, Us”.
Sex Pistols, “No One Is Innocent”
Alex: “And fuck you, us. We’re the ones consuming all that oil.”
You’ll have to pardon me for lifting a response I made in comments to a full-on post, but I’ve been seeing this theme going around a lot recently. And while I respect where it comes from, I reject it [...]

Via Susie Madrak:
I was invited the following week to go behind “enemy lines.” They gave me, of all people, security clearance to go into the base of operations meetings in Venice, Louisiana eight days in. Open door invitation to sit like a fly on the wall. Can you believe it? It’s really going on. They [...]
