I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but my point was that the sixties
generation in the white house was just as capitalistic as the world war
generation. The both seem inordinately lazy to me, dedicating vast
amounts of their time to philanthropy and philandering -a sure sign of
time on your hands (a bit like e-mail). Ludic is a self-description
touted by the 'information society', it is fetishistic, but it also
describes the monopoly of time they enjoy (but I think you know this
argument).
