"what we want at the cost of our humanity," and I will add, at the cost of our health. right now I see Hydrofracking as a "devil's bargain" . . . i.e.. We can industrialize the landscape and pollute the water and air, but you'll have your gas. . . yeah, some bargain. The same for me with nuclear energy. LOve Marianne From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Devil's Bargain Hi Matthew - I've always thought of that lyric (we are caught in the Devil's bargain) as a contrast to the "We are stardust, we are golden" concept; that is to say that we from pure origins but get caught up in more evil habits and lifestyles, a "devil's bargain" in the models of Faust or Robert Johnson, making a deal with the devil to get what we want at the cost of our humanity. The plea to "get back to the garden" is a plea to get back to our better, purer ways.
