so what do i think of this picture?


i think that liberals have a thing for infinite growth - they just can't grasp that it's not sustainable.

you should recognize that the graph is an idea, and try to mentally map it to a map with the same shape that has been scaled down quite substantially.

we're about three months behind the yankees and have about a tenth of the population. however, the density is a lot different, and we shouldn't think it's as easy as predicting a peak of 7600 cases on oct 17th. more likely is a peak of 5-6,000 cases around samhain.

but, then it's going to start coming down. slowly....

so, the graph looks like a graph you'd expect from a liberal - it goes up, way up, and never comes down...

for the first time, i'm going to roughly agree with it - except to point out that it implies there's no end. and, of course, there is....
