James Howard Kunstler, author and civic gadfly, shares his views on Main St. America. Using slides, he spotlights the flaws in the architecture of some buildings, placing the blame on the regulations which don't allow for any "standards of excellence." Kunstler also warns that the national economy can't run forever on cheap oil and that the country should prepare to downscale.

What is that supposed to mean? What kind of base do you think there would be to move on from if our '10 000 year old civilisation' is 'destroyed'? Certainly not much of an intellectual platform to make any critques. The 'matter' wont be an issue any more. We will be gone.

Jim Howard Kunstler is a great social critic. Behind all his witty and funny remarks there's a lot of strong basis in acknowledging the difficulties in the face of an energy scarce future.

But what will replace it?I agree that destruction maybe necessary to break the habits.

Just try telling the bitches who live in Livonia and do all of their shopping at Wall-Mart that their way of life has no future. They'll think your an idiot.

Kunstler while he gives a great analysis on whats to come, ultimately lacks a solid critique of civilization and modernity to understand the root cause of these problems. The whole idea of smaller scale local capitalism and new urbanism(same as the old one) is not going to cut it. This 10 000 year old experiment of ours called civilization must be destroyed to trully get to the heart of the matter.
