There is a dissonance between two camps of modern liberal ideology, both of which have had a deep influence on my thinking. On the one hand there is the green ideology that advocates buying locally produced products or growing your own and the general  reduction of energy usage. On the other there is the drop the debt coalition that is attempting to help the developing world drag itself up and become a richer place.

The fate of the Western world is not hanging in the balance.

Much like Serbia in 1913, it is fragile and fragmented and there is a determination by a large focused interest group to see violence done in the name of their agenda. And, in the use of violence, they have successfully advanced their agenda.
