this. isn't that why they take to the streets so handily. thanks charles for the david bacon article. what would it do for kids if they were regularily-huh exposed to real hero's like the the people in irvine.
doug, humor my ignorance. compare and contrast class demands and fairness please. alec, do you know if healthcare is privatized, what is going on in russia? our man in hong kong-how about healthcare system there. and on the mainland? and finally, louis, please clue me in on socialism of debs and cannons and who is that second guy? i'm all for the nationization of everything. as long as i get to be in charge. otherwise it's more concentrated, uncontrolable power than we've got now. people being what they are, face it, tom's hindsteiners, carreerists and opportunists tend to take charge of stuff no matter what system. remember "island" by huxley, that's the only scenario i recall that takes these things into account. sweden may not be perfect but i wish they wanted me there.
speaking of class consciousness, it strikes me more as self-consciousness. i think a lot of people are so embarrassed that they are struggling and don't want to call attention to it. that's why the big cigars campaigned against roseanne at every opportunity. just showing regular folks, driven to telemarketing after leaveing an abusive job. sweating about no health insurance. just showing this stuff is to subversive. hey mac, you didn't get screwed by the system, you made some wrong choices.
in the long run i really believe treating people decently is cost effective and efficient but that's not what's being pursued here. they all want the most toys. it's simple pathological money-lust psycosis. who amongst us has not felt it's power... sweet dreams paula
