From Destruction comes America

The FUture of LIFe, or lack there of

We are all brainwashed aliens in a corporate suburban system and we have gone to far down the well to bring ourselves back out again. Bleak as this may seem, the quality of life in America, is defined by the size and location of your house, the quality of your automobile and how much material crap you can amass in your short and insignificant life span. Yet, how and way did this way of life come to be, and who in their right mind decided this to be “the good life”. Kuntsler does a wonderfully sardonic job of explaining the process by which America has created the culture of no culture, and a land that can only be deemed as the geography of nowhere. The first chapter of the book really does explain just how terribly lost Americans and the rest of the western world have become. Instead of creating places of wondrous beauty, of aesthetic appeal, of peace of mind and body, Americans destroy the natural beauty of the world that existed before them and replace it with an artificial landscape, and then Americans wonder why they need ten different medications just to get in and out of bed everyday. The places we Americans have created for ourselves to live in, have polluted the physical and metaphysical space that we live and breath in. Its as if America does have a soul, it doesn’t have a heart…it is inhuman, it is a fairytale gone wrong, it is a nightmare of destruction. And the process of destruction is only intensifying. Americans need to experience a complete shift in the way we dominate space through the creation of places. Intense rapid development of the natural landscape will not better our own lives nor the lives of our grandchildren, instead it will leave them with more dead land. A wasteland similar to the eerie depictions of earth after life in Wall-E. In others words, shit is serious. The future continuation of existence on this planet can only be kept in motion if we abandon the principles that have created the NOPLACE. Otherwise life may cease to exist on this planet and the last humans on earth will be left with an infinite supply of garbage from wal-mart and 10,000 pick up trucks.
