'They eat each other' - native American comment on observing the Donner party.
Tocqueville in 1831 - Americans simply can not tolerate, can not even hear, fundamental critiques of America.

1) What if half the population could not afford to buy anything?
2) solar bods
3) Why is the economy not like the NFL - what creates a better team, quality tends to win out, startegy/tactics wins out over stupidity.

6) National Development Bank
7) Truth TV
8) oligarchy/ democracy
9) people don't know who the enemy is
10) developing an American gardening style / combo of other gardening styles - japanese/french/english
use of stones/trees/shtrubs/flowering perennials/floweirng annuals/ground covers / creating patterns with the shade & light / limited use of water.
11) capitalism creates disposable people
12) they spend more money chasing big payment than they make
13) 4 biggest expenses - health / fossil fuels / defense / money changing
14) my wife and I occasionally go on honeymoons
15) herb garden idea - after dinner drink that is a digestify (settles the stomach)
