Re Greg Nowell's: "Here in the US, if I say to a waitress (outside of
NYC or other areas where they might be grad students):
there is bloodshed at the bottom of this coffee cup, I
appear to her to be insane. If I say to my mechanic,
you are the victim of the auto oligarchy, he will think
the same thing."
Actually, I could have quoted just about any passage from Greg's post.
The whole thing blew me away -- very, very eloquent and painful. I was
reminded of Wallace Shawn's "The Fever," another powerful statement of
the hopeless sense of complicity any sentient person has to feel today.
