>>Theoretically, capitalism is good, because if we all work hard, we'll all make lots of money, and no one will go to bed hungry at night, and we'll all have satellite dishes and big cars or whatever we see as signs of success.<<
errr, actually, no, capitalism is fundamentally based on the extraction of profit from someone else's labour, and therefore is not even theoretically good. I know (at least I think I know) that Catherine is being ironic here but those first four words cannot pass without comment. Is communism any better? I couldn't possibly comment on that. >>Or, as Charlie Brown (or maybe it was Snoopy) once said: "I love mankind. It's people I can't stand."<< Wrong again Catherine, it was Tom Waits who said "There's one thing you can say about mankind; there's nothing kind about man". mike in bcn NP DJRD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail.
