Mindspring censorship; abortion

[Carl Remick]

Ego gratification.  The illusion that someone is taking their opinion
seriously.  Look at some worst-case scenarios, some *real* vanity press
outbursts -- Iacocca in "Iacocca," Al Dunlap strutting his stuff in
"Mean Business," George Soros telling all in
whatever-the-name-of-his-new-book-is.  Who the hell takes this stuff at
face value?  Vanity, all is vanity.

But Carl, people who don't spend money just for the hell of it - bigtime
pig capitalists - spend money on PR. Surely they get something for it.
What?
