Joe Bageant, author of Deer Hunting with Jesus: Dispatches from America's Class War, now lives most of the year in a tiny cottage in Belize. Dave Pollard, of How to Save the World, searching for authentic community, visits Bageant, weighing the real versus online paradise. Here in Dallas we are Rapture Ready. I have friends who have worked on Wall Street, now moving their money to Switzerland in gold bars; others with fine educations are buying a cave in a remote location, stocking it with provisions. Is it any wonder that good money can be made in Global Stability Solutions? I am going to stick with Morals Tutoring for the rich. Inside the perimeter, in the Freedom Towers, life is not bad.
I've decided to let myself out as a potable water filter. The "output fitting" is the sticking point. People are pretty squeamish.

We had you on the list of sandbags to be used in time of flood.

Funny, one of my coworkers suggested water filtration as a good investment category for the future. I hope he is wrong, but he probably isn't.

Blue blood and/or lots of green, either one is high class. The deserving poor can root around in the dumpster inside the perimeter, out behind the Freedom Towers. Nobody ever said the Ownership Society was fair.
