greetings-

*I have long been of the opinion that if Al Gore is remembered a hundred years from now it will be as the vice president(and possibly president) who was a cousin of Gore Vidal.*

That is a happy thought, and a sign of pure faith in the advance of our troubled species.

*reflating the world economy by printing dollars to fund free imports to the USA!)*

Can I have some of this stuff? More optimism from Chris.

*In terms of exposure, campaigns for specific reforms are better.*

I agree. MEDICARE FOR ALL OF US. Perhaps paid for by the Tobin tax, though I think if the will were there we could provide better care to everyone for less money. Really.

*Your best bet is to read less Karl Marx and develop more of a class analysis of bourgeois society*

Yeh, my family was a brutal battleground of class struggle.

*Well maybe he sees things in class terms, but has misplaced loyalties.*

Ouch. Maybe I think, not sure now, that ending "short-termism" is a useful reform. Of course it might slow down Capitalism's self-destructive tendencies. Depends on how you feel about what would follow said collapse?

Arthur the Aardvark was in attendance yesterday and is a union arrdvark. This is what it takes.

More great news. 7 huh, does she too love Leon? Hey Tom, now that your back, do you know anything about this supposed access employees have to their bosses SIMPLE,SEP, AND KEOGH pension arrangements. From what I've come to understand emp. access is the law, but I don't think many owner-operated businesses are doing it.???

Thanks James, what is the Alinsky birth control trick???

*On the Democratic side, running candiates with leftist backing against moderate incumbents could be pretty threatening.*

Having Paul Wellstone on TV a bunch would almost be like having a third party for several monthes, and who knows, people might get some new expectations.

Joy Around the Clock, ah the Bozoness of it all. Paula
