The Promised Land Project: The Coming Famine?

Turning Vision into Action....at least hypothetically

Strike up the music of the band
We're blazing a trail for the promised land
Heaven on earth is within you.

Through the writing of stories, poetry, essays, and a novel, I’ve creatively contended with the consumer culture and the problem of the ideal in the modern era. This preoccupation in time would lead to a vision of cultural transformation and where I believe our democratic society needs to go to truly progress beyond the modern era. Conceding my limited credibility, this blog provides a synthesis of recognized visionaries, poets, and writers with the objective of making a credible argument. Ultimately, it is a certain feeling the project strives to inspire and sustain on a certain level, making more vital use of poetry and the arts; consequently whether one agrees or not is less important than whether one senses it and feels it over time.

The Coming Famine?

Here's a link to a book review that warns of a coming famine. The argument is based on the often heard warning that the days of cheap oil, of which our food supply is based, are coming to an end. To be certain, I've read good arguments to the contrary, some that I've also posted links to in previous blogs. But in the wake of apolcalyptic musings, thought I'd post this here.
