Chuck Schumer comes off like a mad pig. Anyone who voted for him, even to get rid of D'Amato, should see Waco: Terms of Engagement. You could have voted for Freudo-Marxist and Capitalism Nature Socialism contributor Joel Kovel on the Green ticket.

When I saw Kovel last weekend at URPE summer camp, he said he's wants to get away from the concept of use value, which is too much like using-up, and replace it with the concept of usufruct.
