A car I'd actually buy and learn to drive if I had loads of cash. It also operates as a power generator w/a 110 A/C outlet! Got to write down the loc of this company's warehouse in case I survive the apocalypse.

Fresco quotes

I just watched the montage from the Fresco interview (below) and there's some of his better lines included. His take on competitive society mirrors my own: "Competition is dangerous, socially offensive, considered right and normal because you are brought up to that value system. What kind of competition did Jesus have?"

In discussing transportation (and cars and their safety measures as an analogy for our society and its laws and other guidance): "They are designed by cerebral insufficients! ... Eliminate cars and design a holistic transportation system."

In the end:

Larry King: No control of the population?
Jacque Fresco: Population control is dependent upon education. We feel an educated public needs no control.

I love the pairing of "holistic" and "transportation," or any technology. And I've got to remember to refer to people as "cerebrally insufficient." The man is an awesome Vulcan (with Spock's compassion).

Let's meet for a coke

After airing Ginni (wife of Clarence) Thomas' voicemail to Anita Hill - asking her for an apology for what she did to them years ago - Olbermann plays a series of gag voicemails from other wretched folk also requesting apologies. Laughs!

Jacque Fresco Interview with Larry King, 1974

Here's a clip from the old Jacque Fresco interview I mentioned a few posts back. I love how damn earnest and impassioned this guy is. Imagine if people like him - as in, scientists hoping (and planning) for a peaceful future in which everyone's needs are met - ruled the world (or at least our country). Hey, I'm a dreamer.
