The Greedy Capitalist: David Veksler's Homepage :: Archives :: Ny_blackout_special_edition

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once. We will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.-- J. Michael Straczynski

NY Blackout Special Edition

Quick Quiz: What is the media�s most likely take on the blackout:

The �complexity� and �chaos� of the market is unsuitable for an �essential� need like electricity.
The blackout was caused by America�s over-reliance on fossil fuels � we need to reduce our electricity use and move to renewable energy sources.
The minor looting and small number of deaths caused by the blackout is a sure sign that we can trust the government to protect our lives.
The Democrats haven�t found a way to blame the Bush administration for it, but they�re going to have something soon.
The blackout is an inevitable consequence of a heavily regulated, price-controlled, forcibly monopolized, and eco-crazed power industry.
