] Fallen hippies trading in their Volkswagens for SUVs. To
] most of us it's very emblem of a sellout, but to Canadian
] philosophy professors Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter,
] authors of the provocative Nation of Rebels, it's a
] logical progression. The book charges that by attempting

] "alternative" goods (VW bugs then, Range Rovers now),
] political radicals have turned their backs on
] unsexy-but-concrete ways of fighting injustice through

] piles of Adbusters issues and rebel-fashion-accessories
] at the bottom of their closets).

] The WSJ notes that high oil prices is crimping SUV sales.
] The big, inefficient and deadly vehicles (which always
] seem to be in my way) are Detroit's most profitible cash
] cow. Don't think the secular bull market in energy over

] And yet, Gasoline remains cheap. That's right, it is a
] relatively inexpensive commodity. It takes 100 million
] years to create; Then it needs to be explored and found,

] There's no doubt in my mind we're in a bubble right now,
] though during the last one i was far to busy selling
] expensive ads to 20-something CEO's with far more money
] than sense to take much notice of the first from this
] perspective, all i hope from this one, is that we get
] some great innovations out of it. If it has to burst,
] like all bubbles eventually do, let's hope it's not quite
] as messy and that we're left with something valuable at
] the end.
