zotzFirstly, this article from the Black Commentator, nominally on "Why Black Americans should oppose the war" - but fascinating reading for anyone, I'd say, because of its take on the possible impact on the global oil trade. Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
oakdryad for pointing it out.
Heavy demand makes winter fuel prices the highest of the year, and prices spike when an oil producer like Iraq is attacked. Best to fight in the spring and summer when prices are low. That's just the first lesson in the nexus between oil, money, time and the taking of other people's property by force.
On a darker and stranger note,mr_tom pointed out this article from the Miami New Times about a somewhat intense oral mythos that has grown up among homeless children. I read this at one in the morning, which I'm not sure is to be recommended. It was quite unsettling.
