Last week, the world — for those paying attention, that is — witnessed a tale of two cities occur. Between Detroit (The legitimate USSF) and Toronto (The ill-legitimate G20). And the tale couldn’t be more diverse. “Competing Ideologies,” if you will?

FLOW The Film
Have you seen T. Boone Pickens’ on TV touting his plan to switch from a dependence on foreign oil to an energy “strategy” based on wind? I remember thinking to myself “could you [The U.S.] even do that?” Not really my point. But It seems that’s not all keeping a “Greasy Man” busy these days.
