A leader who was worth something
Our eternal quest for Platinum Status, Preapocalyptic technological dystopia, opportunity knocks, vexation of the spirit February 24th, 2012
The most amazing (and foreign) thing to me about the above video is when the Netherlands’s Prime Minister goes on TV and tells the country that they are going to have to change the way they’ve been doing things and quit driving so much, but that it can be done without excessive pain. I wish our leaders had such frank courage and would tell us the truth in the face of our challenges. But their solutions always seem to avoid at a minimum denial, and more likely warmongering, xenophobia, and blame. (Cf. any of the GOP debates this year.)
