Local Tsunami Being Planned

Malthusians making a comeback:

Greg Ferrando glistened with sweat and sea water as he went for a barefoot jog up the immaculate white sand beach, where the tsunami has wiped away almost all signs of humanity...

'Everyone is talking about it. It looks much better now," he said. "This looks a lot more like Hawaii now, where vendors aren't allowed on the beach.'

...Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the tsunami swept away unplanned and possible illegal building, creating an opportunity to regulate growth."

Guilford County is a bit out of reach for any tsunami's to rework our growth so we have had to concoct our own landlocked tsunami.

Note the N&R take on this issue. It's not that people are fleeing high taxes and crime --- its our detestable love of cars.

When TREBIC comes out with their counter report to the Sierra Club report, watch to see if it makes the banner headline on the print version of the N&R.

afterthought: Between the journalist who sees immacculate beaches wiped clean of hummanity and the barefoot gentleman out for a jog in the area, I am wondering if anyone else recognizes this scene as just a little bit heartless, while the dead are still being buried and the survivors attempt to recover just beyond the rumble of the surf. In linking this story to our comprhensive plan, I am not trying to heartless in my own right, but rather I am trying to point out the dark underside that exists in the minds of SOME of those who promote the regulation of how others should live...man as a parasite on the environment that needs to be better managed by government force rather than voluntary action.
