The leaning to authoritarianism is probably because she opted heavily in favor of the proposition that the media-tart judges of Masterchef should be hung, drawn and quartered. And left to stew in their own jus.
DH has been reading Robin Davidson's Quarterly Essay in which she laments the relentless squeezing to death of the independant spirit of nomadism. She need not worry, current housing policy at both Federal and State levels could well reverse this trend. And check out this great site http://squatspace.com/index.php and their handbook on squatting.
No joke, everywhere we look, we see populations on the move, nomads without traditional wisdom to prevent overgrazing, whether its the rich flitting disconnected from resort to resort, or rent-hoppers, or refugees. Overpopulation and greed, or Malthusian inevitability, call it what you will. Populations will just keep on expanding until the inevitable catastrophic crashes. Bleak thoughts this morning.
