putin keynote speech at davos

[click image, half hour video]

[Oh, all right, sheesh, here it is in print. I think we should always be careful to watch/listen to the source because SO much of what human consciousness registers about people comes that way, and that way alone... or only through the greatest care and insight and guesswork from printed translations, or even straight transcripts.]

[I'm bugged that he's talking so exclusively in terms of carbon-based energy progress. I understand he's rich in it and needs all that money badly to bring Russia up to snuff as a civilized society. Already eastern Russians are protesting the present crisis, as well could be expected, since the further from Moscow you get, the more like the chaos of the 90s remain the local economies and social hierarchies. But, still, WHY can't any world leaders just pop up and start making a big hairy deal out of clean energy development. If Putin did it, he might save the world! [[Maybe not just in the east after all....]] Anyway, was the whole world in on this today and just forgot to tell me? Anybody rioting in the United States yet? No?]

[Ooooo, he really rocks in the Q&A, though....]
