What's the preferred Bengals forum for zoners?
Ryan the Reds Fan, The Burn, and 4 or 5 others post at mine (see below)...
I don't recommend the one I've hung out at some, Bengals Insider. Very crude, bad language, not much moderating. So if someone finds a good one, let me know.

I've browsed around at www.bengalszone.com, but haven't posted there yet. There are a few folks who seem to know what they're talking about, but a few rah rah types as well who talk like the Bengals are the second coming of the '72 Dolphins. It's not a bad place though and as soon as I come up with an appropriate screen name I'll probably show up there on occasion.
Huddles is probably the busiest Bengals board on the Web. I get frustrated by the lack of housekeeping, though. There are often three or four threads on the same subject. Trolling is tolerated more there than at RedsZone, as well. Pretty good site overall, though. It's the only Bengals site I visit.Originally Posted by Boss-Hog

Whenever there is an accusation of racist behavior leveled toward a school or youth team — or much more often, its supporters — the response of the defending party is to deny it, or to be shocked and make clear it doesn't represent the wider community. As for the latter, that may well be true. But with multiple instances of such behavior recently, it's a reminder that for some among the younger set, being part of the most diverse generation America has ever had is a cause for backlash, not celebration.
For example, the reaction in Howell, Mich., located between Detroit and Lansing, when Howell High students put out racist tweets such following a big boys' basketball victory over Grand Blanc High, which has black and white players. Among the tweets: "All hail white power. #Hitler is MyDad" and "Tonight was probably one of the most racist nights of my life. I heard so many slurs and expressions. I also said a few things…".
Howell's principal said disciplinary action (of an undescribed sort) would be taken against the students, so the school isn't in denial. But… (from Mlive.com):
[Howell principal Jason] Schrock said he hopes both communities understand that what he believes were knee-jerk reactions of a few teens don't speak for all of Howell and that the town and school are continuously trying to work themselves out of a rut that history has dug for them.
"A life lesson can be learned for these students without dragging a community's reputation through the mud," he said.
Howell was known as the home of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon Robert E. Miles, who died in 1992. He lived in nearby Cohoctah Township, where he hosted KKK cross burnings.
Grand Blanc's principal told Mlive.com he's confident in how Howell will handle the situation. At best, though, what will happen is that Howell's students will at least be wise enough to be racist in private. And we'll probably hear again soon enough about another mostly white high school fan base accused of racist behavior.
That's because the Howell incident occurred not long after two others involving schools representing predominantly white areas that let their inner racist out when their teams faced school representing mixed or mostly minority areas. Examples from the last few weeks:
– Multiple students at Mahopac, N.Y., High, from the very white exurbs of New York, were suspended after sending out racist tweets follow its boys' basketball team's loss to not-very-white Mount Vernon. The Mahopac superintendent, while condemning his student's remarks, said his school's fans were targeted with racial slurs by Mount Vernon fans, too.
– The Indiana High School Athletic Association is investigating, upon request of Lawernce (Ind.) North High School, conduct by fans of rural Bedford North Lawrence High, whose fans wore gorilla suits and were alleged to have thrown racial slurs at the Lawrence North High girls basketball team. Bedford fans claimed the gorilla suits were motivated not by race, but by a safari dress-up theme for the game (as in, hunting the Lawrence North Wildcats). The IHSAA, as of this writing, has issued no report on its investigation.

She has offered me to join her new pyramid team, to promote staring my own business of soliciting people to join her business. The problem is that I believe we should not mix business with pleasures and that is what is going on.

SANDY, Ore. -- The charges against a driver who allegedly struck a pedestrian in Sandy earlier this month have been upgraded to felony manslaughter since the victim died.
Michael Topliff, 41, was hit by a Ford Mustang headed north on Beers Avenue, according to investigators. He was rushed to a Portland hospital, where he later died.
The driver of the Mustang fled the scene in the car but then returned on foot. He was identified by police as Philip Krogstad, 32, of Sandy.
Krogstad's car was found at his apartment complex, just a block from the crash scene. Police said his blood-alcohol content was .14, nearly twice the legal limit. He faces DUII charges in addition to manslaughter.
A trail has been set to begin on March 13.

Back in 1971, when the building first opened as a gallery showcase, Soho was still a thing of the future. Castelli, André Emmerich, and Dwan (where John Weber served as gallery director) were renting storage space from Hague Art Deliveries up on West 108th Street, and when the city planned to raze the warehouse to make way for public housing, Hague owners Frits de Knegt and Wouter F. Germans
went looking for an alternative location. They turned up a paper warehouse, No. 420, on a bleak stretch of West Broadway. In a move considered quite innovative, Hague, Castelli, and Emmerich arranged to buy the building as a co-op. Under the name of the 420 West Broadway Corporation, they paid $275,000 and divided up the five-story building into three equal shares. Hague took over the basement and ground floor as an art-storage facility and rented the fourth floor to John Weber after Virginia Dwan decided to retire. Castelli moved into the second floor and rented the third to his former wife, Ileana Sonnabend. André Emmerich landed on the top floor.
Castelli was familiar with Soho because his former director, Ivan Karp, had already opened a space on West Broadway in 1968. A few other galleriesPaula Cooper, Holly Solomon, Richard Feigen, Ronald Feldmanhad also opened nearby, but the neighborhood was barely civilized.
"We were worried because we all came from uptown and this was a big risk for us," says Weber. Recalling the night of the first opening party in September 1971, he explains, "Everyone put out wine and cheese and stood around, nervous that no one would be there." Weber looked out the window before opening his doors and was astonished to see a crowd so thick it blocked traffic. "I think we clocked in 12,000 people that opening day, everything was gone in 12 seconds," he continues, "and the place was in the art world from that point on."
Opening day, Sonnabend stole the spotlight with a little-known duo from Great Britain who went by the name of Gilbert & George. As The Singing Sculpture, the two stood on a table and, for four hours, repeatedly lip-synched the English dancehall tune "Underneath the Arches" in a "dandy" send-up of high art. By the end of the evening, both they and the gallery were public sensations. "Gilbert & George was an explosion," according to Antonio Homem, Sonnabend's gallery director since 1968, who remembers his amusement when What's My Line? called to invite the artists to appear on the show (they declined). "Everybody in the art world came to see it, but also everybody in the whole city," he says, "which is the reason we came to New Yorkfor public reaction like that."
Public reaction and artistic endeavors continued to collide throughout the '70s at 420; the number of important exhibitionsincluding Baldessari, Buren, Haake, LeWitt, Nauman, and Rymanis too extensive to list here and already fills volumes of art-history books. "It was a moment when commercial galleries were taking more risks, and a lot of artists did not have something to sell," says Exit Art's Jeanette Ingberman, one of a generation that was inspired to open alternative spaces in the 1980s based on these experiences. "The rooms were never really finished, and the aesthetic of the space was a really strong part of the work," explains performance-art historian Roselee Goldberg. "It changed how we think of a gallery, because now they looked like everybody's loft, not the world of the collector or the overcooked architect."
Castelli's couch, always open to visitors, was emblematic of the period, as was the welcoming presence of Nick Sheidy at Sonnabend's front desk. "Leo had a way of extending his generosity," Richard Serra says. "Only he could bring the art world to a new geographical location and open it to a new architectural space."
Not every artist was in love with the architecture of the spaces at 420. "I always called it the clothing rack because the ceilings were so low and the pipes cut off the top of the paintings," says James Rosenquist. To accommodate outsize works by artists like Serra and Rosenquist, Castelli opened another Soho gallery, 142 Greene Street, as an annex in 1980.
Behind the scenes, however, de Knegt and Germans continued to play important roles, managing the building, overseeing deliveries, and guarding the freight elevator. While Germans often played conciliator, stories abound about de Knegt's temper and stringent rules. "Someone walked through the front door with a small Sol LeWitt and Frits went through the roof," recalls one building employee from that time. (But de Knegt couldn't stop Jannis Kounellis from bringing a horse up the freight elevator each day during the course of his 1975 Sonnabend show.)

Restaurants, hotels and other food service facilities often experience sanitation problems associated with the accumulation of organic material that is not removed with traditional floor mopping products. These problems include fruit fly, drain fly, and other small filth-breeding fly infestations; plus noxious odors and slow drains.
To eliminate small-fly infestations, pest control professionals often advise their clients to improve cleaning practices and to use a biological degrader. Most clients do not comply and their problems persist.
BioMop is a general floor cleaner combined with a highly concentrated biological degrader. BioMop cleans the floor and removes organic material -- all in one step. BioMop can replace the current floor cleaning product, or it can also be used as a biological rinse when another floor cleaning product is preferred.
BioMop can also be sprayed into problem areas that cannot be reached during regular mopping.
A marketing program has been established for qualified pest control operators that desire to market BioMop to their clients. Sign up today.

The Theory of Value
Prior to the use of currency, men and women bartered to obtain the goods they needed. If one man made shoes and another raised chickens, a pair of shoes could be traded for a certain number of chickens and vice versa. In this case it is clear that both parties profited from the exchange, the hungry cobbler received food to eat and the farmer with cold feet received shoes to wear.
Today we use money to facilitate trade, and rarely do we think the purchaser profits from an economic transaction. Clearly, the shoe salesman profits if he sells a pair of shoes to me for ten dollars if it cost him five dollars to make them. Yet I profit as well. The value I put on having shoes is higher than the value I put on keeping ten dollars in my pocket. In fact, I value the shoes he sells at fifteen dollars, so they are a bargain to me at ten. If the salesman charges sixteen dollars, I do not purchase the shoes since I do not profit if the value I place on them is lower than the price he charges me.
All of this illustrates the subjective theory of value, which recognizes that the price I am willing to pay for a specific good or service is different than the price others are willing to pay for the same good or service. In a coercion-free market where contracts are honored, people get a fair trade if they are able to purchase a good at a price equal to or below what they think it is worth. Thomas Aquinas notes that all this trading and exchanging of our talents and goods meets the needs of others and fulfills one of the Lord's designs for us.
The subjective theory of value is an economic reality on the human level, but from God's perspective we must value Him most of all (Ex. 20:3). Therefore, we must prize His glory and the extension of His kingdom more than anything else (Isa. 48:11). Yet subjective value can play a role here as well. For example, the value I place on one-on-one ministry may be so high that I forego monetary wealth and become a full-time missionary. Someone else might highly value giving large sums of money to a multitude of outreaches and seek a profession that pays very well. Both of these love God's ends most of all, but the ways they value the means to achieve these ends differs.

The encampment has rules. For example, the residents decide – together – if a new person could move in.

Digital preservation is the active management of digital information over time to ensure its accessibility. Preservation of digital information is widely considered to require more constant and ongoing attention than preservation of other media. This constant input of effort, time, and money to handle rapid technological and organizational advance is considered a major stumbling block for preserving digital information. Indeed, while we are still able to read our written heritage from several thousand years ago, the digital information created merely a decade ago is in serious danger of being lost, creating a digital Dark Age.

I recorded the talk that I gave at this year's EclipseCon, JAX and JavaOne conferences. While I was stuck sitting in a chair during this webcast, and as such it may not have quite as much flare or hand waving as a conference presentation, this is the same talk that got me voted into the JavaOne Rock Star Hall of Fame.
The theme of the talk is the idea that focus and flow are key to creative work, and that tool support can facilitate focus and help us maintain flow, dramatically increasing our productivity. I then describe some of the motivations and foundations behind Mylyn's task-focused interface, including the split between our brains' semantic and episodic memory systems. After that, things get more concrete with several demos of Mylyn 3.0, followed by a showcase of the tools that make up the Mylyn ecosystem, including open source connectors as well as commercial tools such as the SpringSource Tool Suite and Tasktop.
Enjoy, and feel free to post any questions on the talk, tools and technology. Oh, and since I've already been teased about the weird looking drink I take sips from a few times during the talk, a free Tasktop Pro license will be awarded to the first few who can figure out what it is.

GRETNA , La. -- What started out as a roofing repair turned into a fatal tragedy Friday morning as authorities investigated how a 27-year-old man fell from the roof of a business.
Ross Breaux of Covington was working alongside a relative when he stepped through a skylight and hit the ground below, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office spokesman Glen Boyd said.
Deputies received a report from the 1100 block of Wright Avenue around 9:45 a.m., authorities said.
Breaux was pronounced dead on the scene.

Rikers Island Lawsuits Over Diabetic Care
By Albert Samaha
A hospital aide approached to ask if he'd changed his mind. Tilzer held up a hand as though to ward away evil. "No, no way," he said.
Generally, this is the kind of thing that happens to people who badly neglect their health. Here, Tilzer, 50, must plead guilty: "I never knew I had this diabetes until my foot got bad," he said.
He didn't know about the diabetes because he hadn't been to a doctor in years. This was a particularly bad idea because Tilzer had added to his own risk factors by being somewhat overweight. "I'm working on that," he said. But he hadn't been to a doctor, he said, because he didn't have health insurance. And he didn't have health insurance, he insisted, because he is self-employed and hasn't been able to afford it.
The self-employment part is not entirely voluntary. In recent years, Tilzer has embarrassed local Democratic Party organizations by soundly defeating their candidates in primary elections. He managed winning campaigns for both of Brooklyn's current Surrogate Court judges, beating the machine both times for what are the most highly sought judicial posts in the borough. In 2005, his candidatean unknowncame within one percentage point of defeating an entrenched Republican state senator, Serph Maltese, someone the Democrats had ignored for decades.
His reward for these rebel campaigns has been that when it came time to dole out the sweet government jobs that come with things like pensions and health-care coverage, Tilzer was never on the receiving end.
"I don't get it," he said in his hospital room last week. "I win, and the other guys end up with the jobs and the coverage."
Either way, this situation makes Tilzer a prime exhibit in one of the biggest issues at stake in this election year: health care. Outside on the streets, thousands of excited people were passing out flyers for their candidates. Across the country, people flocked to the polls in bigger numbers than they have in decades, mostly to vote for the Democrats. Other than the endless war in Iraq, if there is one reason American voters are looking to see a Democrat in the White House, it is because of the candidates' promises to finally deal with this crisis.
John McCain and the Republicans have had little to say about health care, except that we should let companies compete to keep costs down. This philosophy has already resulted in 46 million Americans, like Tilzer, going without health insurance. It has helped make insurance premiums rise four times faster than wages. It has turned every union contract negotiation into a battle over which side will eat the latest hike in insurance costs (up 73 percent since 2000). It has helped push two million Americans into bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical costs.
Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are running for president on pledges to make sure people like Tilzer never have the excuse of saying they can't afford to go to the doctor. Clinton says she would do so by mandating that everyone get coverage. Obama says he would make insurance so affordable that people can't resist.
Actually, neither plan gets to the root of the problem, since both are built around the continued profitability of insurance companies, which are part of the problem and, to put it mildly, are not in this business just for our health. But the candidates' proposals are a start.
On Super Tuesday, a veteran organizer named Marilyn Clement stayed up late to watch the returns and write an encouraging e-mail to her troops. Clement is running a national campaign called Healthcare-NOW that seeks to win support for a bill in Congress that would create a new national health-care plan. Technically, this is known as a "single-payer plan." Since this is incomprehensible to most of us, it is often referred to as "Medicare for all," on the reasonable assumption that most Americans might be in favor of extending a workable health-care program that even Ronald Reagan was afraid to dismantle.
"Today is a day of great hope!" Clement typed. "There is exuberance and commitment among the voters we have not seen in our country for many years."
If none of the remaining candidates are pushing the "Medicare for all" concept, Clement was asked, what made it such a great day?
"Well, I wrote it at 2 a.m., so God only knows what I was thinking," Clement said. "But I am encouraged by the huge numbers of young people who are turning out for this election. I hear them talking what I call 'big-picturetalk': They're making the connections between the war and the budget and the environment and health care. None of the presidential candidates still standing are going to fulfill what people are really hoping for," she continued, "but the power is coming from this upsurge of people who are excited about change. The kids have high expectations. I'm hoping they'll hang in."

The New Mexico Press Women will host the release of its new book, "A History of New Mexico Press Women (1949-2009)," from 2-4 p.m. Oct. 2 at the Flying Star Restaurant on Silver and 8th Street SW in Albuquerque.
The book chronicles the organization's 60-year history.
Where did the association come from?
The answer to that question is imperative if the group is to know where they are going. At a time when journalism and mass communications is being revolutionized by electronic media, the answer is more important than ever.
Perhaps that's why Sandy Schauer and Denise Tessier, both NMPW historians, undertook the compilation of NMPW's history. Perhaps they just wanted to retain that history in a form for future journalists and historians for whatever reason they needed.
In any event, "A History of New Mexico Press Women (1949-2009)," grew out of the interest of Schauer and Tessier to preserve what they know of their organization.
Schauer had first compiled a history, produced as a booklet in 1984. Five years later, she updated her history of NMPW and delivered it to members at the Las Vegas conference in 1990, commemorating the organization's 40th anniversary.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
NEW ORLEANS The story of Sean Payton's return to the sideline has certainly been discussed ad nauseam as September bleeds into October.
Everyone inside the Saints' locker room likely wants to move on, burying his absence in the past like the team buried in 2007 symbols of the 2006 season.
Yet, it's hard to ignore this one small, simple fact New Orleans was 0-4 without him in 2012 and they're 4-0 with him a year later.
As Malcolm Jenkins said in the quiet of the locker room Monday night after the giddiness of New Orleans' 38-17 devouring of Miami dissipated, this team is a reflection of its coach.
They're undoubtedly Sean Payton-like confident with a side of killer instinct.
'Whenever you have your head guy back and leader here, that's what they do,' Jenkins said. 'The team is going to reflect your leadership and he's the leader of the team. Obviously he has us motivated to play hard, to play fast and to go after the jugular on teams, to really go out and win.'
There's no doubt about it, this version of the New Orleans Saints feels like it's on the way to something big.
They're 4-0 and have yet to play a complete game. They've still got problems to correct and issues to resolve. But they won't apologize for who they are because Payton would never do so.
'You see his aggressiveness as a coach even in this game at the end of the game,' long-time Saint Zach Strief said. 'We've got the pedal down and we're going to keep running our offense and try to put points up on the board.'
They're confident and getting much more so as the season moves along and, one quarter of the way through it, they might be the least talked about unbeaten team in the NFL.
Not a bad place to be as Denver, Seattle, Kansas City and New England play in the heat of the national spotlight.
'The hardest thing to deal with is success,' Jenkins said. 'Everybody can get motivated and come back after a loss, a tough loss, a close loss. That's easy to get motivated for. But when you're winning and everybody is comparing you to Super Bowl years and all that stuff, it's hard to ignore that and not believe the hype.
'That's one of our biggest emphasis, that's what we're really focusing on just really staying the course. We work hard every week. We do the little things in practice so they show up in games. We're going to continue to do that and not going to believe the hype.'
That undoubtedly gets back to Payton, who was so laser-focused after a 21-point victory that by the end of his 3-minute, 10-second news conference, he could have been described as less than jovial.
Since being let back into the NFL in late January and since the league calendar officially flipped over to 2013, Payton has been on point.
'From the moment that he stepped back in the facility in April, he has been locked in,' Drew Brees said. 'He has never let an opportunity go by without communicating a message. He has not let anything go unsaid.'
That's what was missed in 2012, the singular message that one person can bring that allows a team to blossom into something better than just winless.
'The biggest thing to have your head coach back is you have a clear cut vision and plan of what your team will look like,' Jenkins said. 'He set the tone in the offseason for what his plan was as far as preparing for the season and what he's looking for as far as his players. Now we're just playing out that plan.'
That's Sean Payton's plan, just in case you weren't sure.

The supreme, taken for granted, never questioned value in our society is to do with being rich and being able to consume a lot. There is some although not much questioning of competition and individualism, but there is almost never any public or private recognition that there could be anything problematic about affluence. Indeed buying, having and displaying many things, and many relatively expensive things, is seen as not just legitimate and morally unquestionable, but as deserved if one can afford a nice or luxurious car then there can be nothing in any way wrong about buying it. There is no sense of unease or guilt associated with buying and having and using up things.
In addition the supreme national goal is economic growth, ie., increasing wealth. Nothing is as important as keeping the GDP rising. The "standard of living" is defined as GDP per capita, and "prosperity" and indeed "progress are identified with increasing the capacity to produce and consume things.
There are two levels here. The first is the obvious one of the luxurious and opulent living of the very rich. Few can have this, but just about all would like it. They buy the Home Beautiful magazines to envy and aspire. Great wealth is not resented. It is admired. It sets the benchmark of high quality and it tells us we live in a society where all have the opportunity to attain it.
The second level is that of the middle and working classes, from the professionals and upper managerial people at one end down through the teachers, tradespeople and small business people to low income receivers. They want "nice" things like new cars and nice modern houses and they see as normal and respectable being able to drive hundreds of kilometres for holidays, having a wine rack, remodelling the kitchen, dining out, giving lots of xmas presents, having elaborate electronic toys like computers and music players, having nice furniture and many nice clothes. Shopping is a major leisure activity. The middle classes are also into investing now; they have property and shares and mortgages on their too-big houses . "Polite, modest, respectable" wealth is a large part of the identity of the middle class. It is essential for feeling and displaying success, competence, status, respect, and good standards. Consider especially the concept of "nice". What qualifies as a "nice" car, or house or wardrobe is of course an expensive one. Old, patched, cheap, recycled things are rejected, indeed repulsive. Value is put upon the new, slick, in-style, high tech and expensive. There is no concept of "good enough"; if you can afford a bigger or more luxurious one thats what you get.
When I was going to school you would see many people on the train dressed in old clothes, including paint stained overalls and dusty bags carrying tools. Now everyone on the train seems to be on the way to participate in a fashion parade. There are no old patched or stained clothes. Every item is so new it could have come straight off a rack at the boutique.
The middle class is especially neurotic about dirt. Unilever the soap tycoon, recognised that his fortune was due to this. The middle class will scrub and vacuum and mow and trim and paint an order of magnitude beyond what is necessary for hygiene, tidiness and convenience (more accurately, they will pay someone to do it for them.) So the killowatts go over the carpets yet again.
So what is the problem with affluence?
Why pick on it and on all the ordinary, decent, law-abiding and hard working people who want it?
The core facts that everyone should be glaringly aware of and deeply disturbed about are very simple. If in this world someone is affluent then many are poor. It is not possible for all people to have anything like the "living standards" that are the average for the 1 billion people who live in rich countries such as Australia. If all 6 billion people in the world today were to have the Australian per capita rate of petroleum consumption, then world petroleum production would have to be 6 times as much as it is. But it is very likely that world petroleum production is close to its maximum and that by 2030 it could be down to half the present amount. That would mean that by about 2025-30 when population has increased, the amount of petroleum available per person would be only 1/15 of the amount per capita we use today in Australia. There is in other worlds no possibility of all people ever having anything like our present rich world per capita levels of resource consumption, or "living standards".
The distribution of resource use in the world is extremely uneven and unjust. The people who live in rich countries are taking most of the petroleum and other resources produced in the world. In general our per capita consumption of things like petroleum, aluminium, coal etc is about 17 times the average for the poorest half of the worlds people. We could not have our affluent living standards if we were not taking far more than our fair share of the worlds resource wealth. Because we take so much most of the worlds people are severely deprived of necessities. At least 2 billion and possibly 4 billion are very poor. About 1.2 billion are so deprived and impoverished that they are hungry or malnourished. More than this number do not have safe clean water. About the same number do not have access to any medical care. Because they do not have enough food and clean water about 30,000 Third World children die every day. Do you realise that our high living standards cause these effects? They are not the only causal factors; many other factors like the incompetence and corruption of governments are involved, but the main reason why billions of people live in terrible conditions is because they have very little access to energy and resources and the reason for that is because a few rich people are taking most of the resources available.
How do we take most of the resources? We take them simply by paying more. Because the global economy is a market system valuable things like petroleum go to those who can pay the highest price. In this economy what is most profitable is what is done, not what is most needed. Those who need goods most but cant pay much dont get them.
The worst thing about the way the global economy works is that much of the Third Worlds productive capacity has been drawn into producing for the rich few. Large areas of Third World land, which poor people should be using to grow food for themselves, now produce luxury crops such as coffee and sugar to export to rich countries. Most of the "development" that has taken place in the Third World is of this kind. Foreign investors never invest in what Third World people need; they always only invest in what will maximise their profits, which means producing things for export to richer people and for sale to Third World elites.
We in rich countries could not have our affluence, our high living standards, if the global economy was not so grossly unjust. How much would your coffee cost if most of the land now growing it in the Third World was put into growing food for Third World people? How much driving would you do if Third World people got a fair share of world petroleum production.
For these reasons increasing numbers of people recognise that conventional development theory and practice are in fact a form of plunder. The theory urges Third World countries to allow the few with capital, mostly the corporations from rich countries, to develop what will maximise their profits, but this almost entirely results in the application of Third Wo0rld land and labour to the production of goods to export to rich world supermarkets. Obviously Third World workers would be much better off if they could spend most of their time working in small local farms and firms to produce for themselves the basic things they need, rather than earning 15c an hour producing goods to export.
By far the most important reasons for condemning the quest for affluence come from the "limits to growth" analysis of the global predicament. There is no chance of keeping up the levels of production, consumption, GDP and affluence evident in rich countries today, let alone of spreading them to all the worlds people. Our levels are grossly unsustainable. Yet our supreme goal is to increase these levels, as fast as possible, and without any limit. Because we have exceeded the limits to growth we are now heading rapidly into a number of huge catastrophes, most obviously with respect to the environment yet there is almost no recognition that the cause is the determination to have expensive lifestyles, and to become more affluent all the time.
Do you realise that affluence is the basic cause of the destruction of the environment, and that the ecosystems of the planet cannot be saved unless there is a dramatic reduction in the volume of producing and consuming going on? The environmental problem is mainly due to the vast quantity of things we take from nature, such as timber and fish, and all the habitat our cities and farms take, and all the wastes and pollution we then dump back into nature. If Australians were to use as much productive land per capita as is available in the world today, about 1.2 ha, we would have to cut our present use by at least 85%.
Do you realise there can not be peace in the world while a few insist on "living standards" that are impossible for all to have, which they can only have if they grab far more than others can have, and condemn large numbers to extremely bad conditions? Much of the conflict in the world is due to the actions of corporations and governments struggling to get hold of valuable resources and markets. The history of war, domination and misery on this planet can be mostly explained simply in terms of some, mostly states, struggling to grab more than their fair share of the available wealth. There can be no hope of peace until this imbecilic behaviour stops, and this cannot be while people insist on living affluently. If you want to go on enjoying high living standards then you better retain the military capacity to prevent other countries from getting as much of the worlds wealth as you get now.
Who is to blame?
It should not need to be said that those most responsible for the situation are the big corporations and banks. They are the ones who go after more and resources to buy and sell, and they get most of the benefit when things like coffee are produced and sold. But they could not do this and they would have little wealth and power if people in rich countries were not such eager and voracious consumers.
Most of the trouble and suffering that humans have experienced over thousands of years has been due to greed; i.e., to the fact that some individual or group or nation has decided to take more than their fair share. The British fought 72 wars to secure, i.e., steal and then dominate, their "empire" How many proud Britons ever grasped that it is wrong to be a thug or to take other peoples property. It is not possible for rich countries today to have high "living standards" without dominating the global economy, taking most of the resources and not only forcing most people to accept far less, but forcing them to work in factories and plantations producing things for us and getting very little for it. If people were content to live with what is sufficient for a satisfactory quality of life, i.e., to live simply and frugally, no one would have to grab and to condemn others to poverty.
Hence the great hypocrisy regarding war. Most people claim they want peace, but it never occurs to them that there cant be peace while they insist on their high "living standards". There cant be peace in a world where a few can be wealthy only if they take most of the wealth and force the majority to live on too little. Our affluence causes deprivation, and therefore struggles and conflict and war. Most military capacity is deployed by the rich countries in defence of their empire, to keep "order" (i.e., the order that suits us), to support friendly governments ( which will let our corporations invest on bonanza terms), to put down dissent and trouble, and to tip out rulers who threaten our investment and trade interests.
The (insurmountable) ideological problem.
Ordinary people in rich countries never think about these connections. They want more goods, luxuries and wealth and they are not interested in the fact that consuming more than one needs is an intense moral problem, or that it is destroying the environment or depriving people. They are not interested in the fact that when they use petrol to travel they are helping to starve and kill people by taking more than their fair share of a precious resources which could enable more production of food and clean water for very impoverished people. If people in general acknowledged that the global economy which delivers their "living standards" is outrageously unjust, and their affluence is extremely morally problematic, the situation would be quickly changed. But people in general simply refuse to attend to these issues.
The ultimate culprit is of course the economic system we have. It condemns everyone to producing and consuming as much as possible, and more and more every year. Corporations which do not maximise profits are taken over. Individuals who do not constantly work hard are dumped into unemployment and poverty. But the system's fundamental faults do not exonerate people in general. Yes there are powerful forces that distract attention, including the vast effort by corporations and the media via advertising, to encourage more consumption, but to anyone who chooses to attend to the extensive information available on the global situation the realities are easily seen. The problem is that almost everyone flatly refuses to even think about these issues or to question affluence.
The global situation cannot improve until (among other things) there is widespread recognition that affluent "living standards" are profoundly disturbing, and until there is a strong willingness to "live more simply so that others may simply live."
The problem is, in other words, simply greed. But people would be shocked to be told they are greedy. The problem is a largely unrecognised greed. People think they are just for "normal" respectable standards. They do not attend to the fact that they are hogging and depriving people. If they were told their living standards are morally problematic, they would indignantly reject the proposition. If you told them they should be content with what are sufficient standards as distinct from their affluent standards, they would be irritated and indignant at your impertinence, and claim that they have worked hard for and therefore deserve their privileges.
There is, in other words, a massive, total and fierce refusal to even think about this problem of affluence. In this society most people have been willingly stupefied by sport and the trivia of TV and popular culture into being perfectly docile consumers. A very few think about social issues. These typically middle class people show some concern for social justice and the environment etc. Some of them show considerable discontent with things like globalisation. But even these people totally refuse to contemplate the possibility that the social problems they are concerned about have anything to do with their own greed, their own never-questioned demand for expensive living standards. As soon as this possibility is introduced they lose all interest. Thus the agencies they support, such as the Australian Conservation Foundation, the aid organisations, the social justice organisations and indeed the ABC, never discuss let alone focus on the fact that the basic cause of these many problems is the commitment to affluence, to lifestyles that involve far more consumption than could be sustained for long or that all could ever rise to.
What is the answer?
If affluence is the problem, does this mean we have to accept poverty, deprivation and hardship to save the planet? Emphatically not. We could very easily have a very high quality of life based on principles of simplicity and frugality and sufficiency and an extremely low per capita consumption of non-renewable resources. We could for instance have perfectly adequate convenient, durable, and beautiful houses, built from earth at a tiny fraction of the resource and dollar cost of the average house today. We could have perfectly comfortable, functional, neat, clean and nice clothes that are old patched, tough and mostly hand made. We could have perfect dinners produced from food growth within 100 metres of our homes without any energy or chemical cost, let alone without any importation from the Third World. We could have a marvellous leisure and cultural experience in neighbourhoods that are diverse and leisure rich communities with little dependence on travel or expensive media. We could have very durable, functional and simple and beautiful furniture made to last from local timber by local people. If we reorganised our neighbourhoods and towns we could ensure security, full employment and non-material sources of satisfaction for all, from very low levels of production and consumption measured in resource and dollar terms.
In fact material simplicity, frugality and self-sufficiency are the keys to a high quality of life. Being able to buy and consume and throw away more and more will not lead to life satisfaction. Our biggest task is not getting people to understand that the pursuit of affluence and growth is leading to catastrophic breakdown, it is to help people in general to realise that The Simpler Way involves far richer sources of life satisfaction than the affluent consumer way.

A worker climbs on the roof of the Bolshoy Ice Dome inside the Olympic park in preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympics, which begin Friday. The dome is one of 11 venues at Sochi, Russia, a beach resort town on the Black Sea. Here's the 11 newly built arenas, with information from Olympics.org. Venue costs are from the Anti Corruption Foundation.
Adler Arena
Sport: Speed skating
Capacity: 8,000
Total cost: $226.3 million
Members of the Japan speedskating team practice at the Adler Arena Feb. 1 in preparation for the games. The oval-shaped Adler Arena has been designed to resemble an ice fault, with angular walls and triangular stained-glass windows creating a crystal-style facade. The walls have been made as transparent as possible to emphasize the scenic views.
Bolshoy Ice Dome
Sport: Ice hockey
Capacity: 12,000
Total cost: $302 million
The design of the Bolshoy Ice Dome is based on the image of a huge frozen water droplet. The venue features innovative heat transfer fluids that are used to create and maintain the arena's high-performance ice surfaces. The heat transfer fluids are also being used in the air-conditioning system to provide reliable, steady temperature control to maintain ice quality and allow better performance and safety for athletes.
Fisht Olympic Stadium
Sport: Opening and Closing Ceremonies
Capacity: 40,000
Total cost: $519.9 to $703.4 million
The elaborate jewel-encrusted Fabergé eggs that are a renowned Russian icon inspired the unique shell-like design of the Fisht Olympic Stadium, where the opening ceremony for the winter games will be held Friday. The venue features a translucent polycarbonate roof, which will be used to project vivid illumination shows during the games, while also giving the venue an appearance of snowy peaks, a nod to the landscape of the Imeretinskaya Valley and the Caucasus Mountains.
Iceberg Skating Palace
Sport: Figure skating, short track speed skating
Capacity: 12,000
Total cost: $272.2 million
A view of the Iceberg Skating Palace inside the Olympic Park in the Adler district of Sochi, with the Olympic torch in front. The smooth curves of the Iceberg Skating Palace's glass facade are designed to evoke associations with a figure skater's trajectory when landing a triple toe loop. Organizers are supposed to be able to adjust the ice to switch from figure skating to short-track speed skating in just two hours.
Laura Cross-Country Ski & Biathlon Centre
Sport: Cross-country skiing, biathlon
Capacity: 7,500
Total cost: Laura: $1.7 billion, alpine tourist center : $1.1 billion
Located on the crest and slopes of the Psekhako Ridge, approximately 10 km to the northeast of Krasnaya Polyana, the Laura Cross-Country Ski & Biathlon Centre is two separate biathlon and cross-country stadiums, each with their own tracks and start and finish zones. The venue takes its name from a turbulent mountain river with a large number of waterfalls, which has its source in the southern slopes of the Assar, within the boundaries of the Caucasian nature reserve.
Rosa Khutor Alpine Centre
Sport: Alpine skiing
Capacity: 7,500
Total cost: $2.6 billion (including the Extreme Park)
Volunteers slide on the men's Alpine Downhill Skiing course in Rosa Khutor Feb. 2. Located on the Aibga Ridge, approximately 80 km outside Sochi, the Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort will host all Alpine skiing disciplines. Bernhard Russi, an Olympic champion, developed the competition tracks, which measure around 20 km in total, with the men's downhill course stretching to almost 3,500 m and featuring a vertical drop of 1,075 m.
Rosa Khutor Extreme Park
Sport: Snowboarding, freestyle skiing
Capacity: 4,000 (Freestyle Skiing Centre); 6,250 (Snowboard Park)
Olympic freestyle skiers practice during a night training session for the Games at the extreme park in Rosa Khutor, Feb. 2. Located on the west of the Rosa Khutor plateau, the Extreme Park will host snowboarding and freestyle skiing events during the Games. It offers specialized tracks and unique snow conditions. The 1.2km ski-cross track features a 213 m vertical drop.
RusSki Gorki Jumping Centre
Sport: Ski jumping
Capacity: 7,500
Total cost: $2.45 billion, including the mountain media village.
Located on the northern slope of the Aibga Ridge, in the village of Esto-Sadok, the RusSki Gorki Jumping Centre was set on the junction of two ridges to ensure that the ski-jumping facilities fit well with the surrounding landscape.
Sanki Sliding Centre
Sport: Bobsled, skeleton, luge
Capacity: 5,000
Total cost: $76.5 million
Approximately 60 km northeast of Sochi, the Sanki Sliding Centre was built at the Alpika Service Mountain Ski Resort, with its track finishing area at Rzhanaya Polyana. The 1.5km track features 18 corners and a vertical drop of 131.9m, with state-of-the-art ice preparation technology for temperature control along the entire length of the track.
Shayba Arena
Sport: Ice hockey
Capacity: 7,000
Total cost: $104 million
Players from the Russian National ice hockey women's team attend a training session at the Shayba Arena. The Shayba Arena takes its name from the Russian word for "puck," while Russian fans are also renowned for shouting "Shaybu" when supporting the national hockey teams at major championships. A symbolic hockey puck was laid at the foundation of the arena during construction. The circular exterior of the 7,000-seat venue features an attractive blue and white swirling motif, the design based on a snowdrift. The women's ice hockey competition begins Saturday.
Ice Cube Curling Centre
Sport: Curling
Capacity: 3,000
Total cost: $29.7 million
The 3,000-seat Ice Cube Curling Centre features a combination of smooth and well-rounded contours reminiscent of the shape of the curling stone, which is accentuated by the bright polished surfaces of its facade. The simplistic design of the venue is supposed to symbolize democracy and accessibility.
