continued over the years. I see Foster and Moore writing about the same 
phenomena but from different angles. I have some criticisms of Moore's 
work, especially the harping on Descartes that I don't think adds much 
in terms of theory. With Foster, I think there is too much of a 
temptation on his part to recycle things he has written. Even though the 
article are always worth reading, I'd like to see him explore new areas, 
particularly the degrowth question. Anyhow, I probably shouldn't 
offering my two cents on this because there's no bigger skunk than me.

Never mind. This was from 3 years ago. I can't stand when stuff is 
posted to FB without any indication of when it was written.
