...better for greens would be the other major cash-for-clunkers bill circulating in Congress, this one co-sponsored by Democratic Representative Steve Israel and Democratic Senators Charles Schumer and Dianne Feinstein.

Should the battle lines harden and the country be threatened with annihilation, China's missiles could one day target Japan and the United States...

However, many of his predictions range from the absurd to the, well... predictable. His belief that Israel must keep its status as a regional power in order to survive is not exactly rocket science, while his belief that a utopia of altruistic "transhumans" will emerge from the ashes of mid-21st century planetary warfare is a bit hard to swallow...
