No, Michael, when you harness something, like a draft animal, you bring it under your control and direct its force. In the case of the Democrats, (fiscally correct) economic neoliberalism is the rider, and the liberalizaiton of social mores is the horse. The Republicans do the same, except that, in their case, (fiscally incorrect) economic neoliberalism is the rider, and cultural reaction and resentment is the horse.
>What Clinton did is not harnessing. It's neutering. It's different.
Before you can harness an animal, you have to break it down, domesticate it, and teach it how to behave. -- Yoshie
