"Incremental change" is a Third Way lie.

[polichick]

141. "A society that no longer recognizes that the natural world and life...

have a sacred dimension, an intrinsic value beyond monetary value, commits collective suicide. Such societies cannibalize themselves. This is what we are undergoing. Literally."

(from the Hedges link above)

Many years ago in a college economics course I told the prof that his models were meaningless if they didn't take into account natural resources used and quality of life lost in the continuous quest for "growth" and the accumulation of profits. He said that those things weren't considered by economists in the U.S., so I countered with "We'll see how long that works." And here we are. Makes me sick - so many saw this coming but weren't able to stop it, or, rather, stop THEM - the soulless whores on both sides of the aisle and the greedy fuckers calling the shots.
