Do you think working-class people don't read lbo-talk? I'm a construction worker and I've been subscribed to this list for four or five years at least.
OK, maybe I'm the one and only, the rest of y'all are hoity-toity innalecshural snobs - probably that's the case - but I'll tell you this: while nobody on the job site (excepting me) wants to come right out and say "Bush is a lying warmongering prick," on account of none of us care to be regarded as anti-patriotic, still it looks to me that the support for this proposed Iraq fiasco among us construction types is absolutely paper-thin.
I've never seen anything like it, there was more enthusiasm for invading Granada, for crying out loud. Everybody down here wants to know one thing: "where the Hell is Osama?" This despite a too-blatant pro-war advertising push coming down from the millionaire bastards who own the mass media that out-shouts anything I've seen back to the sixties. Even the biggest suckers aren't sporting "Attack Iraq!" bumper stickers on their pickup trucks.
