Even if the government dangles a nice carrot at the end of the stick, I have a horrible feeling that some people won't take one step towards it.<BR/><BR/>I'm more familar with the social climate of England (working class Derbyshire) than the US at this period, but there was a tremendous feeling of "we are all in this together." Of course, there were differences: one that comes to mind is how cruely hard clothes rationing was on the poor who started out with fewer garments, had fewer tablecloths to cut up, and couldn't afford longer wearing clothes. <BR/><BR/>These days, I feel so alienanted from mainstream society, and know that lots of the people I know find me very hard to understand. There are huge divisions in my little town for example. And I don't know what it would take to pull together.<BR/><BR/>MEAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-3462031573161707182007-04-08T11:06:00.000-07:002007-04-08T11:06:00.000-07:00Thanks for the correction re:Dreher. Mr. Alfred, ...Thanks for the correction re:Dreher. Mr. Alfred, I hadn't heard that such a large percentage of gas rations were on the black market although certainly some were. Is this in the US or Britain? But I personally strongly favor *tradable* rationing - it seems to me the best possible way to allocate wealth, so that the poor, who consume less, can profit from their lack of consumption.<BR/><BR/>And RAS, thanks for reminding me of Miranda's site. I've also got a Victory Garden site (in part) my rarely updated but hopefully-soon-fixed www.ourvictoryathome.com, and there are a few other such sites on the web. Hopefully, this will coalesce into a real movement soon.<BR/><BR/>Sharonjewishfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547121621115074866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-60859467560855199712007-04-06T13:12:00.000-07:002007-04-06T13:12:00.000-07:00Nice article.

Clearly, people are much more ego-centric these days than they were then. Perhaps, in parallel with rationing, there should be a white-market - a sort of EBay - where people can sell unwanted rations and buy the ones that are more important to them.Nassimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014132282872515690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-91722137040417698922007-04-06T07:09:00.000-07:002007-04-06T07:09:00.000-07:00A nitpick: The author of Crunchy Cons is Rod Drehe...A nitpick: The author of <I>Crunchy Cons</I> is <B>Rod</B> Dreher, not Ron.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658949890957239166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-23979513344426407832007-04-06T06:56:00.000-07:002007-04-06T06:56:00.000-07:00Sharon, you have such a way withwords.

I've had my doubts about the WWII build-out analogy as well, but you're analysis has clarified them. <BR/><BR/>BTW, there is an effort to start a new Victory Garden movement.

I do agree with you about the importance of the press and the media - completely. In fact, that will come up in the "advantages" section - because I think the internet represents a kind of social advantage that is one of our few major pluses.<BR/><BR/>Kiashu, when I say "new direction after Sept. 11" I simply mean that the current administration had an enormous amount of political capital, and could (were they different people and hadn't sold thier souls to Satan a long time ago ;-) have done all sorts of things - among them caling on Americans to conserve and invest in renewables, to change lifestyles, etc... There was an overwhelming sense of people wanting to *do* something - and nothing, except 'go shopping' was asked of them. We lost the political motivation there, and it will be hard to regain. To some degree, political will follows traumatic events - pearl harbor pretty much ended the isolationist movement and resistance to things like the draft. <BR/><BR/>Sharonjewishfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547121621115074866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221748.post-35893759230164139132007-04-06T02:05:00.000-07:002007-04-06T02:05:00.000-07:00Impressive stuff, though I'm puzzled as to the "ne...Impressive stuff, though I'm puzzled as to the "new direction after September 11" the country could have gone in. Why would a few terrorists flying into buildings prompt economic and industrial restructuring?

One quibble: the Roosevelt Administration did undertake much of the leadership burden on the home front, but in several areas --- nobably scrap metal drives --- the media took a leading role. We wouldn't be able to produce an effort similar to the home front without motivated publishers and editors and their powerful voices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
