THINK ACT RIOT

deeply ashamed to be an american today

"It goes like this: they hired our parents to destroy this world, now they’d like to put us to work rebuilding it, and – to top it all off – at a profit. The morbid excitement that animates journalists and advertisers these days as they report each new proof of global warming reveals the steely smile of the new green capitalism, in the making since the 70s, which we waited for at the turn of the century but which never came. Well, here it is! It’s sustainability! Alternative solutions, that’s it too! The health of the planet demands it! No doubt about it anymore, it’s a green scene; the environment will be the crux of the political economy of the 21st century. A new volley of “industrial solutions” comes with each new catastrophic possibility."

Here we go. This is my summer 12 cities 22 states 5600 miles and almost a hundred hours logged in the car. We are currently sitting in a hotel in Buffalo, NY waiting out tropical storm Irene. We are completely exhausted and we should arrive in Boston with just enough time to settle and start school.
