This has nothing to do with stupid comparisons to Pol Pot and everything to do with changing our way of life so that life on this planet will survive what capitalism has done to it.</BLOCKQUOTE> Lovely talk in the abstract, Chuck. But the specifics do still seem to come down to Pol Pot, whether there is coersion or no. Pol Pot had the same unprincipled idealism--- change [Cambodia's] way of life so that it can survive capitalism..... -- David</HTML>
