No other way in sight but relocalization.

What the fuck do President Bush and Treasury Secretary-designate "Hank" Paulson mean when they say the economy is "growing?" That we are building more Pizza Huts in Phoenix? That vehicle miles traveled (VMT) continue to increase? That developers have bulldozed another 1500 acres in Cherokee County, Georgia, to install more commuter tract housing? We'd better prepare ourselves to replace the concept "economic growth" with the different concept "economic activity." We're currently interpreting the "health" of our economy on the model of late-stage cancer.
