kelley quoted Barbara Ehrenreich (who, when she isn't attacking "postmodernism," sure is very very good):


>I know it sounds scary, but it will be a lot less so if we can make
>sharing stylish again

Speaking of which, a sign I saw this morning only blocks from the Forbes.com "Proliferate capitalism" billboard, this an ad for FT.com, the Financial Times's recently relaunched (and largely inscrutable) website:

COMMUNISM [x'd out] didn't work

SOCIALISM [x'd out] too much sharing involved

FASCISM [x'd out] too many little moustaches

CAPITALISM seems to be working

If they were really so confident about capitalism, would they have to advertise it so much?
