Comments on: The end of civilization as we knew it http://www.logicmatters.net/2009/11/the-end-of-civilization-as-we-knew-it/ Logic, enthusiasms, sceptical thoughts, and a little LaTeX geekery Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:23:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: John Fitzgerald http://www.logicmatters.net/2009/11/the-end-of-civilization-as-we-knew-it/comment-page-1/#comment-2292 John Fitzgerald Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:42:19 +0000 http://www.logicmatters.net/?p=696#comment-2292 I share your disaste. I try to remember to bring my own mug, but, as often, the high-minded ideals are undermined by lack of organisation. Interesting how tea really suffers from the paper cup treatment, coffee not so much. My first job out of school was clearing tables and washing cups etc in a cafe. Based on what I was paid, paper cups can't save that much! On the other hand, I've never been much enamoured of the occasionally bleachy taste of mugs in greasy spoon caffs. I share your disaste.

I guess that this (new) labor spending on credit was not so smart thing to do after all. Maybe you could use some more "Thatcher cuts", but hopefully not directed against philosophy faculties this time :) Well it almost looks like it. Is-Britain-brink-financial-armageddon.

Read it with nods and sighs.. And can't help but remember one of my personal favorites: "In 1953 I realised that the straight line leads to the downfall of mankind." -Friedrich Hundertwasser (Out-of-context but still relevant in my view...)
