Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia.

Democrats Sworn In; What Happens Next?
Perhaps it is a mere coincidence, but I could not help but notice this. As soon as Democrats take control of the House and Senate, we see these headlines:
Return trip for electric vehicles: automakers unveil plans for electric cars; no need to put pressure on the auto industry!
Medicare Drug Program Costing Less Than Estimates, U.S. Says: no need to pressure the pharmaceutical industry!
Employers increase hiring, wages in Dec.: no need to worry about jobs and wages, or to put pressure on big business!
Falling crude oil prices should translate soon to lower prices at the pump: leave the oil companies alone!
Does anyone think these headlines reflect what is really going on in the world?
