There was an article from Mother Nature News which apparently is now a subsidiary of Fox News as they talked so glowingly over the potential for a megalopolis stretching from Raleigh, NC, to Atlanta, GA. They write with a virtual sneer regarding thoughts of lifestyles based on walking, etc. (MNN: What if Raleigh and Atlanta just merged?)
If Mother Nature had anything to do with this network, it was most likely only until she had completed her latest bowel movement.
These whizbang shavetails think all they need to write is a bag of reefer and WordPress. However, if you have no more brain than a potato, you were destined to be a politician or a Hollywood director. Know thyself, thy dimwitted fuck.
Perhaps this is what happens when you watch "Bladerunner" one too many times and think it's cool to have vast city wastelands where everything seems constantly to be wet and dripping with something. (The Rutger Hauer croakage scene was genius and, I believe I read somewhere, there was at least some measure of improvisation to it.)
That such a megalopolis grows around Atlanta implies there would likely be also the NYB (New York / Boston) megalopolis and, gasp, the San Franangeles megalopolis when those two roll together so they can slide into the sea as one.
That it would take a second sun to power all this doesn't occur to these crapshoot journalists because of two fundamental problems: they don't think and they can't write.
Coming from Mother Nature Network, joyfully heralding the advent of an era of ultimate consumption isn't just bad journalism, it's an offense against nature.
And not one of them gets it that the humans in "The Mote in God's Eye" (Larry Niven / Jerry Pournelle) were the Moties and not the ones who looked humanoid. (Wiki: The Mote in God's Eye - You may find it amusing that Brian Aldiss apparently didn't understand it either)
