Many people believe that all celebrities know each other, that once we ‘arrive’ we are given a secret black book that contains the contact information of every movie star, every pop singer, every artist, model, and mindless heiress. Not true. The only contacts we have are those we forge on our own and those held by our PR agencies.

My point? I need to get something to Brad Pitt (a man who seems to recognize the unique genius of Neil Barrett) and FAST. And I need your help. You see, I have in my possession a copy of Plan B 2.0: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble that has been inscribed by Lester Brown with some kind words for Mr. Pitt concerning his recent green building project in New Orleans. A lot of people visit this site. Surely, someone with a connection to Mr. Pitt will drop by, no? Can I get a little help here?

Coincidentally enough (I prefer to think of coincidences as synchronicities. Semantics perhaps, but it’s a personal preference nonetheless) Mr. Pitt’s production company is called Plan B. I think the connection between Lester and Brad is pretty well predestined.

As an aside, with the now official and soon to massively acclerate housing crash in progress, more and more people are going to start understanding the prescience of Kunstler. While his politics may not be your cup of tea, let that not get in the way of his message. Don’t know James Howard Kunstler? Look him up at www.kunstler.com. Whether his predictions hold up perfectly or not, only a fool dismisses his message. My favorite Kunstler quote: “Suburbia is best understood as the greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world.”
