@Dirk - if ever there was time, now (and now, and now) is it. If we don't stop this runaway train it won't matter who is sitting in first class or hiding in the luggage cart.
Indeed: counter-political resonance machines, as Bill Connolly might put it. Affective assemblages of collective force and persuasion. The network of resistance is growing we simply need to intensify the process.
I'm Canadian so it looks a little different from up here. If Obama fails on this pipeline issue he will NOT win another term. President Rick Perry will then accelerate the train in the name of 'progress'... Endgame in my opinion.
